OR... just assemble my own loads using the 200 dead ADI brass I have here, the same 747 powder and the same Hornady 55gr SP pills... all for about 40 cents AND without leaving home.

Mind you, giving up my first born is still on the cards if he doesn't buck his ideas up.

EBF - Yes, I do sympathize with your sentiments there and I take your point. I just thought that if Belmont were loading ADI brass with 27.0 grains of powder and 55 gr pills... which work well... then maybe I could too.

Just get it shipped to your local shop / farmlands for pick up were you can flash fal.
At 60c a round its not worth the time to load it yourself.

I shoot there 77smk and its amazingly accurate
