    It was the colour and recommended by some other backyard nutter on an American shooting site😆
    As I said, it is early days and not really scientific but has worked so far.
    Brass is not to soft so I am happy for now.
    I would get between 8-10 loads out of my brass with the same load only annealing twice at the most.
    Will see if it I can improve on it, but as long as it remains accurate I am happy.
    After all the benefits of loads like these are only seen at extended ranges.
