I got thousands of .251" 50 gr FMJ bullets at a penny each.

The natural limits of a work up are:
4 gr Power Pistol, no one can stand the recoil
4.5 gr most powder that will fit without double compression
5.2 gr most powder with long brass life
6 gr primer falls out, case sticks in chamber

"Ad hominem fallacy" is not the same as point by point criticism of books. If you bought the book, and believe it all, it may FEEL like an ad hominem attack, but you might strive to accept other points of view may exist.
