Those tyoe of people ...and I mean no disrespect toward your friend....

To add one more thing...
What if the gun shoots lights out using only new "virgin" brass.
I dont know how much it's going for but if you're getting .250 grouping at 100 yards thats real good. Particularly if you're shooting further, which you are.
Is that a deal breaker if you can't just...
Something isn't making sense unless I'm missing something (which probably is the case 🙄)
"Virgin brass without bumping at all shows excellent results on paper at 100, even at 600 yards, I made great scores with a few nines from wind or human error. "
"I would not mimic virgin brass dimensions...
Ok....

It's your hobby but I've found a lot of...
I dont know of an instance the partition isn't a good bullet sans the most dangerous of game.
It definitely doesn't do anything the best but it sure does a lot really good.

This industry is driven by what "the other guy " is doing.
There have been a slew of new bullets released in a small window of time. RDF style bullets are everywhere now...

Ok...
But have you compared fkat base versus boat tail ?
In 22 cal bullets I've found flat base often times out performs a boat tail.
I cant say that with most other calibers but definitely found it with 22 cal
More shooting is done this time of year bar none......metallic and shotshell.
Protect those eyes!!!!
It's not just yourself but most times it's the other shooter dropping a double charge, wrong cartridge for gun, etc...
I had a shooter in Trap right beside me blast a few rounds off and I...
