[QUOTE="D.M., post: 3283769, member: 42678"] Only a bad thing for light bullets, the light one's have thin jackets and when pushed to max velocity they cant handle the stress. Back off on the pressure and they do fine. Most of the light bullets are made with thin jackets so they work on small thin skinned critters like prairie dogs. Most commercial ammo runs 55-62 grain, but you can find 45,50, 69 fairly easy. You are not loading your own right now I guess due to space, but you don't need a large press you can get small presses from Lee and a few others small enough to fit in a drawer, they are slow but you can load some pretty good ammo on them if you pay close attention to what you are doing.
