Thank you!

You mentioned Speer bullets a while back and on the recommendation I tried a box in .223, and really like them!
I can't remember why I quit using them?

Is there a considerable difference for big-game (elk) or personal defence, between the JHPs or JSPs ?


Clinging to my God, and my guns!
