How is the better for the "handloader"? How are those advantages different from factory ammo? Isn't that better for "the person that want's better/flatter ballistics"?


I've owned several 99's... Could never get past a dislike for them. I just don't like them. I wouldn't trade my single 94 for any three of them. For the use of a quick handling lever gun, I don't need higher pressure and pointed bullets to kill critters 150 yards and in..
