    First days with a NIB Ruger PC Carbine (9mm)

    Typically the heavier 9mm rounds have more contact surface with the barre. and HP bullets have a closed end which enhaces the uniformity of the bullet base.

    Steiner MX5i 5-25x25 was just recently chosen as the new sniper scope for Bundeswehr new sniper rifle G29. It can not really get much more military spec than that.

LoackBase has a tapered base which tolerates much higher pressures without worsening accuracy. If you do...
