I would be buying all that I could afford. Nothing like having a good known alloy that is clean. You have got to look at it in another way. When you buy a 5 gal bucket of WW's what are you really...
Have pretty much the same problem with my rifles and handguns.
First couple of rounds out of a clean barrel and they do not land at the exact point of aim.

LAH I am with you on this one.
Was pestered by my oldest son to get my levels checked.

No changes in the last couple of ones.

Had exactly the same thing happen to me with the same head stamped brass.

Actually find it more pleasant to shoot than a 429421 over a near max charge of 296.

Heaviest I have run is a 255gr one out of my Redhawk Hunter.

Would not bat an eyelash if it is the "R" or "Hunter model".

What style of front sight other than the pin in blade sight would be correct for a 1886 Winchester SRC?
Looking at what could be special ordered in lieu of the standard front sight.
