The XP3 is the replacement for the Failsafe.  If you think those are expensive, take a look at the Federal MRX ammo!! The bullets as a component are over $1 each!!

wow..man the prices keep raising..I think slapping a new "Ultra..Supreme..Elite.. etc...etc.." is just totally hype. It continues to up the ante and confusses the avarage Joe who wants to try some real top of the line loads... I would love for more people to start handloading - I wish I would have sooner... Cator your own load to your own rifle. At the cost of such, you could afford lots of components.
