    My Reloading Rules for Long Range Shooting

    Just thought I'd toss this out there. I have repeated a lot of mistakes that I should have known from experience not to, so I made a list for myself to post over my bench. Some will get folks' feathers ruffled - they shouldn't, these are for me, if you...

    AMP Annealing Made Perfect is a load of horse manure?

    Have the Giraud, got AMP recently, really impressed. Until tonight. I ran Aztec on a 50 BMG RWS case and got my code during setup. Tonight I was bored and figured I'd check some other manufacturer brass, just to see and record the different codes...
