What's a sizing die??

Hell yes, it works great. I have some 1F OE and it works well in a CPA with 535,540 grain bullets. Am planning on shooting to 700 yards in the Ozarks in a couple of months.

I have noticed it when I pick up some used brass, just segregated and sell the different ones. Shooting BP , there will be a difference.
Forum: Black Powder Paper Patching
