    Greetings All, To be honest I am a little flabbergasted. The computer even pulls the handle for you. I think andyanimal31 sums it up as best for the ultra precision and ultra long range shooters....

    kiwi-adam liked post by grandpamac On thread : Room and advice to test my first reloads (Hamilton) ?
