I tried my own handloads for the first time today and all I can say is- I think I found my load. I sent my cold bore shot down range and punched a hole much closer to dead center than I expected so I stacked five more on top of it and had a .5" X .46" group sitting on top of my CBS. I just started reloading my own rounds and never expected anything like this.
