did you say a box of 20 bullets was $20? If thats true then holy expensive!

@freestylmx311 sorry i said that wrong... 50 bullets for $20 hornady isa bit cheaper at 100 for $30

I haven't been able to shoot long distance but I was shooting bullet through bullet hole consistently at 50 yrds

How is your accuracy with these handloads at longer ranges than 40 yards? What kind of groups are you getting? Are your groups better with this than with factory ammo? I ask because I am trying to learn how to use this kit for my .308. Thanks.

@thelister4910 sorry for the late response.. accuracy is good beyond 40.. i shot good groups at 150yrds.. i forgot the group size but it was deff better than factory ammo(walmart bought federal/winchester/remmington)

@ltkrieger u don't have to trim the neck for the first 2-3 shots but if u plan on using the casing more than yes u will need a case trimmer.. I have been using a rcbs balance scale I would suggest gettung a lee perfect powder measure.. they are only around $20 and once u set it u don't have to again till u change loads

@bighuntingboy1994 yes they do if your looking for .22 hornet

[MagicMeasuringCup]

right on brother the magnum primers are what we used with our hand loads /.270/ we are going to go shoot them in about an hour. nice vid. ps: this is my moms acount hinse the name so plz dong give me sh*t for that

[bighuntingboy1994]

do they have this for a 22lr?

@vamvwj10 dude thanks. I'm really looking forward to trying this. Match ammo is expensive. You should make a video of you reloading a round, I would really like to see it done. If you get a chance that is. Thanks again.
