    Yes. the cases are magnum cases. You can load magnum cases much hotter in the Handi rifle due to the long throat. In fact with the 180 gr. XTP and 200 gr. FTX bullets (and I assume others) you can...

    I suppose it would be funny if it were made for combat NVS, but it wasn't. As I have pointed out, it has an entirely different purpose. And it fits that purpose (or purposes) very well.

    Yes. I did and if I recall correctly, it was ~.3565. The 200 gr. FTX is .358 and all others I use are .357. I cast a 158 gr. in a Lee die and have found a way to gas check them. Cast bullets are...
