23	Well tested hunting loads.						Don't use Magtech/CBC brass. It is hard to extract even with factory ammo. The same with lightest reloads. Starline brass is superb without any problems so far.
24	Fun/target practice/low blast and low recoil loads.
25	Subsonic loads.						WARNING: Sellier & Bellot LR primers must be seated completely down in primer pockets!
