PIOBill -- Always wanted to ask what the "PIO" stood for. In my day in the USAF, it meant Pilot Induced Oscillation - a little over-control and out of phase issue, usually on landing. |

Mark, You load a lot of RGL's, right? They're usually about 67 or 68 mm long, only about 1/8 inch longer than a 65mm hull. If one can load a 7/8 ounce load with the Claybuster CB0078-16, you should ... |

NobelSport 686's are similar to W209's. The 688 is a magnum primer, I believe. It's kind of like the difference between a Fiocchi 615 and a 616, or CCI 209 and 209M.
Fit?? I've had no problem wh ... |
