Thanks,


I had one. It worked great. I sold it because someone wanted one more enough to pay more than I'd spent on the gun, brass, dies, etc. Despite more than getting my money back I regret getting rid of it.

The rifle was a standard 700 blued SPS, nothing fancy. I put an aftermarket trigger in it and threw on an old Leupold 4.5-14X AO in dual dovetail B&R.

I used Remington brass and Remington 7-1/2 primers. I settled on H335. I don't remember what I shot with the 25 grain bullets, I mostly shot 20s ... 20 grains with a 20 grain bullet, easy to remember. 5 shot groups were around 3/8ths of an inch.

After about 100 rounds, copper fouling completely ceased.
