Probably the most fired gun in my safe. Find I load heavy bullets to somewhat less than max most of the time. Have a nice 405gr Saeco spire point mould for light stuff. Bought 400 FMJ seconds, 500gr, from Lock Stock And Barrel couple of years ago. Still working my way through them. Case life...

mostly just get trashed, ive had a few hides tanned out (vegetable tanning)and used the leather to recover some motorcycle seats, or had them made into knife sheaths, tool rolls and such. not cheap but definitely unique and very functional items.
