    3 shot groups under MOA are suitable for a hunting load for out 300m on deer sized game. A lot reloaders are happy with that and successfully fill the freezer. Precision reloading & development is...

    Is the water cooled annealer dead? Been making flux concentrator ones and they go much better. The first one runs on a 36V power supply and the second one uses a 48V power supply. Apart from that...
