I haven't bothered much with HV or HV hollowpoint stuff in decades. I'm rather an accuracy purist, and when hunting will only take a head shot or no shot at all. To that end premium target ammo gets the nod, and kills them dead.
Case in point: our backyard/garden is regularly invaded by...
I started shooting Krags as a teenager in the late 60's. Back then you could still buy cheap old Army surplus Krag ammo at the local gunshows, for a couple dollars per hundred. Shot a hellacious amount of stuff that fetches big bucks on the collector market now. Oh well, c'est la vie. As time...
Complete waste of my time + $8 entry fee. If you're into black guns, milsurps, and candy/jerky it was swell, but if you collect vintage stuff and were looking for handloading supplies, not so much. Don't think I'll go back.

This whole ramification of infringement on 2A rights disturbs me to my core, truly. But on a personal level it'll effect me like this: I don't own or shoot an AK, Saiga, or SKS, etc. - I have no use or desire for them. I don't buy factory ammo of any kind (except .22RF stuff), and haven't since...
Here's one I built a couple years ago. A Bridgeport mill makes hole location and drilling/tapping a snap, as well as cutting the handguard clearance.
'03 nickel steel receiver and bolt, Criterion barrel, wartime Keystone replacement C stock, Unertl 8x (note USMC Sniper Unertls didn't...
