    Why frustrating @Bill999?

    You are absolutely right about the crimp die, evens up the pressure and makes a massive difference to accuracy. After I started crimping mine I could shoot rabbits happily to ~100m with my .308, and I switched from chest shooting goats to head or neck shooting them, usually in the 50-80m range.

    The one thing that is vital with any subs project is to do a thorough drop test at various ranges and tabulate it, and stick it on your rifle stock. And use a rangefinder to be precise. They’re dropping like a rock much past 60-70m.
