Reviews
Simple, easy to use and very consistent, repeatable results. Don't need an expensive or specialized press, though I have a 1-ton (Harbor Freight) arbor press that makes things a little easier. The .2165"/5.499mm size weighs 20gr w/pellet base+hollow point, solid base+hollow point weighs 24.5gr. Soft lead is recommended. First shots were from a Crosman 1322 at 5yds, now to stretch that to 20yds... Attached picture shows the slugs, the one laying down was fired with the intent to recover.
