    MPVO Options

    45gr .22 rimfire in CZ

    I have been trying out different ammo in my 455 tacticool. The cci SV chambers smooth, but the regular SS hollow points are hard to chamber. Extracting loaded rounds shows engraving on the bullet. Shoots great other wise. The question is, has anyone on here tried the CCI 45gr suppressor ammo...

    Custom honed dies

    If you are resizing a .308 once fired brass from .344 to .331 would you need to FO it in steps of .005 like they recommend when using bushing dies? Or would a regular full length die that is honed out to .331 work without causing excessive runout?

    Winchester factory ammo question

    Does Winchester use any silver primers in there factory loads? I bought some once fired brass from TheBrassman and I found a bunch of silver colored primers in some of them. The majority have brass colored primers in them. Wondering is there is some already reloaded brass in there.

    How much bump?

    How much do you bump back the shoulder for tac rifles? I have seen some say .002-.003, but do you run the risk of failure to feed if the chamber gets dirty with this little tolerance?
