Years ago Hodgon bought Winchester powder Company. They now own Accurate & RamLine powder Companies. Does this constitute a monopoly?

Have not tried using this bullet at over 100yds. Out of my 44 rifle , it is accurate to this range. Drop becomes a big factor after 75yds, in my experience.

To do it right & not loose cases , you need forming dies. I start with a Redding 25-20 forming die. Then thru a Redding 25-20 neck sizer die. Finally a 25-20 FL sizer. Rarely ever loose a case.

When it comes to large game, I highly recommend heavy for cal. A 175 to 180 gr. Weight means better penetration, especially thru bone.
