Allan DeGrootAhhh.... doesn't sound like a typical barnes suicide for dummies load....
what is that in CUP?
52,000-ish?
Though I sometimes wonder about the factory swede military factory loads, I have never once seen ANY handload
flatten the primer cups like the factory ammo does....
Makes me wonder just how hot that factory ball ammo really is...
