Domed Primers
Once upon a time, if my memory serves me, rifle primers were all domed. I've still got some old RCBS primer seated punches that are concave to fit the domes. So I don't know the brand, but they're...

I've got a 10/22 Ruger in 17HMR also and really like it. When I first got it, I tried all the available brands of ammo to see which one the rifle liked best. When I shot the CCI ammo I...

Going back again?

Oh, I'll go back again, but not for a while. I enjoy it when I go, but when I leave, I've had a fill of it. A man's head can stand just so much pounding at one time.
Yeah, I made the trip...
