Quite right, the head is at the rim end...... but BULLETS go on the other!
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Guns dont kill people. Dads with pretty Daughters do...!

Yes, very good. Case head bottom. Bullet (or variant spelling "boolit" when talking about castings) on top.

So what's a good Viht 120 load then?
