Range Report on My first reloads.
 

A few weeks ago I started reloading and this was the first test of the reloads.

only shot a few rounds of each, And to my amazement everything went smooth, No trouble cycling and no failures of any.

A buddy did show up and was able to get some data on the reloads and they all were within 10-15FPS of what they should be, so all in all a good day.

Oh yeah scored and around 300 rounds of brass laying around in the bay to start the day off....WOO HOO.

Worst grouping of the day Unique powder 4.7gr

After the beating Ellison has taken and still takes on a weekly basis, I'm gonna make sure "NO SQUIBS" happen.

Just remember to put Primers n Primer Pockets before inserting Gun Powder and then the Bullet......................

Good job Ed!

It sounds like all went well Ed and that you had a great time!!!:)

Load in a room by yourself with no distractions whatsoever and you should be good to go!!:)

Congrats Ed...see, my mistakes have led to other peoples success. Therefore, I am not a failure, but a catalyst! Do I need to explain the "big" word to anyone?

Catalyst???? is that a PINO dish? Like cat and noodles.

It's an abbreviation
.."what's for supper? "

"Cat's on the list"
:D

See? No such thing as useless! You can always be used as a bad example!

Good stuff Ed!

Nice shootin' !

Glad to hear that you got a bunch of bangs and no kabooms. :)
