Loaded up 25gr with the 65gr after an anonymous member said it was too slow. Harvey has maxi at 26.5gr.

How did the 25grn load go with these @TeRei ? Im using 25.3 BM2 with 62 grn Norma for 3180 (20"). Good accuracy. Primers are a touch raised around the firing pin dent otherwise look ok. Am using 25grns with the 62 Maker and primers look very happy. Seems to be a good powder with this weight.

Harvey was a hoon. I wouldn't be surprised if he rode a Harley or owned English Pointers.

Yesterday the older dog ran across the river and nailed a stilt chick in the blink of an eye. Put up 3 cocks and 2 hens on way back. Just never stops. Catches and kills regretably waxeyes in mid air in the back garden. Climbs into the mandarin tree and catches sparrows. Self training all year around. The beauty of the bike ride is that the dogs keep constant on flushing pheasants not just during the pheasant season. They suffered in the HB heat.The river provides relief. It has been wicked the last 2 days.
