Does anyone have any advice on the set-up of the inside chamfering cutter, on the RCBS 3-way cutter? How much is enough? How to tell? Is it critical or not?
Thanks for any help. |

Does anyone use the .270 Win for varmints. Would the 90 gr hollow point be a good long range bullet, or would it be too light? There is the 100 and 110 gr. Would they work in the neighborhood or 40 ... |
