Rolling my own with Redding dies, H110 and Winchester .223 brass...
My intent was to build my ideal 0-200 yd. whitetail rifle. So far I've been very happy with everything but the ammo... I form from .223 brass, and originally bought a bunch of LC once fired. That stuff does not form well at all. I've since switch to commercial Winchester brass and am pleased with the results. Groups have consistently printed MOA + or - a gnat's ass. I really need to upgrade to some real optics, but for the money the little Simmons works well for deer season and makes for good go/no go field expedient rangefinder.
Cheers!
