Re: Always be aware of the bullets final destination

I agree with you 100%. The man negligently discharged a firearm and some one was killed....this is assuming, of course, that the ballistics tests prove that the bullet did come from his ML.

Re: .223 reloading

I'm not shooting out of a 27" barrel, but Ramshot TAC and W748 are my "go to" powders for .223.

TAC seems to be much less temperature sensitive, if it matters.
