Usually key holing is a result of driving a bullet too slow I thought ?

You can reload primo hunting ammo for about $1.20 a shot, plinking ammo about .80c

Bloody hell ! Where are you ? The cheapest I can get is winchester 300gn hollow point for $70/20 and leverlution is $80/20 !



Metro Melbourne, been going to centreway for a long time, I usually get a few bits and pieces at a time and John usually knocks a couple bucks off. Last I checked his levelotion 325gr were $58, PPU 405gr jacketed was $40 ish.

Also does good prices on powder if you buy a couple bottles, think I paid $40 for ADI last visit.

Become a regular and spend a few bucks and John will look after you. Even if just visiting casually their prices are very fair.

Gunco on the other hand ......good range but KA-CHING$$$$!!

Never experienced this personally - but then again, I've never gone under 900fps. I was getting gas cutting because my projectiles are checkless - too much pressure for the soft lead
