    Love your job guys amazing…!
    I don’t have access to your ammunition so I bought RUAG and tested it with magnetospeed V3, ES 20 is an excellent ammunition here in Switzerland, the next day I did the whole recalibration process ( Redding competition dies )and went back to shoot with my Vihta N570 300grs scenar load and the result was from ES 5, the box of 10 ammunition RUAG Target P 338 lapua mag costs almost 100.- CHF 1kg (2.2lbs) N570= 100.- + box 300 scenar 90.-chf gives a total of 190.-= 173.4 loads at 89grs… but most importantly it was a pleasure to clean recalibrate weigh everything is simply a rewarding process in the end with a much lower cost and better quality.

    Sadly I think the cost of primers, powder, projectiles is driven by the wars and the anti-gun cartels in hopes to drive the majority of the people away from guns and shooting therefore accomplishing their agenda and by pricing these component so high the vendors are helping the anti-gun cartels accomplish their mission. Great pod cast folks
