    Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..

    Neat report.That 44.5 gr bracket is interesting in the 68gr Berger and 100gr Mid South.

    Have you tried 75 gr bullets with that powder and 44.5 gr?
