Had one sneak into a batch of brass on my progressive press, the loud bang reminded me to double check all my brass before putting it in the feeder. Load them now on another press because I don't...

I have two Anschutz .22 rifles a sporter and a target rifle that I believe are both capable of that kind of group in the right conditions. However those conditions don't include my eyes on sights or...

Lyman 452460, 200gr LSWC over 4.0 gr Bullseye shoots great in my Springfield and my Kimber.
