I have reloaded .223 on my Dillon 550 that would be good enough to shoot master with at a highpower match if you could hold the rifle hard enough.

If you use a powder that meters well in your Dillon, you can, with good case prep, easily load some seriously accurate ammo.

I think the main thing that amazed me about how well Strad and his rifle shot was the mixed-headstamp/generation brass. I see one-ragged-hole potential.

Goalie would be the acid test - as far as trigger skills go (best guy I have seen with a long gun in a while)

Reload some really premium stuff and I think that would be a real tackdriver.

I actually have some 77grain .223 loaded up right now. It should shoot rather well out of a 1/8 twist barrel.

Here's what he looks like when you make him laugh when he has the hiccups:

Here he is learning how to low-crawl:

Remember, this is the internet. My "rep" is likely based upon the fact that I can, 100% of the time, shoot a rifle and, with a little help from gravity, hit the earth.
