Supersonic – Subsonic Handloading the 7.62×39 Ruger American Ranch Part III Sometimes, the only way to know is to do it yourself

Prologue 04/24/2022 – From my perspective, this project was enjoyable. Handloading is one of those aspects of firearm ownership that appears to hold more narrow of an appeal with each passing year.
