These must be older. All the current ammo has a rating from a 5" barrel instead of 4.6". Where should they fall? I have a couple of their 180's I personally tested listed on the sheet. Both were about 1300 FPS. Haven't done these ;)

Looks like a roll crimp. Probably just the pic playing tricks with my eyes. But yeah, that is a tight crimp.

I know we can only speculate, but I wonder why DT is crimping so much. If it's just "playing it safe", or what, who knows. Does leave me curious though.
