    Having a lot of fun with the subsonic 222. The crimp die arrived, and groups noticeably tightened up with a gentle crimp... pic below taken at 25m target, ignore the flyer, I was determining the point of impact, below the bull is a four shot group - wasn't really trying, so it'd be interesting to see if I could do any better or just fluked it. Got under 1" groups at 75m and 100m as well when checking POI. @flock, you should have stuck around for a go! Ready to bust some bunnies now... plan next is for a 1800fps load to still use the cheap projectiles and low powder load (checking against Lyman cast bullet handbook loads as reference) which should be good out to 150m at least. Trouble will be finding somewhere to shoot to confirm POI past 100m...

    have loaded another 20-odd rounds tonight, ready for some action. Very quick process using neck sizing die, no lubing required.
