Thread: Got to booboo

As a young man I hunted the kokotahi toaroho block for the Forest service, up the bottom end of the kokotahi was a hut named booboo. And this is what I would like to talk about, the booboo part anyway. A little while ago I'd reloaded some 22 hornet cases, now normally you pop out the primer ,do some squizz on the throat, pop in a primer and follow that with powder. Now this part I forgot and that what made me think of booboo hut. After trying two shells that didn't feed I shine,d the torch down the chamber to see a bum end of a 40 gr Hornady VMAX. A trudge back home to rod it out.Micky duck is right, I'm forgetting things.

Happens I load for a few friends and 6 months ago we were out and one didn’t go bang in his .270 first thoughts were primer until I shook the case and it sounded empty pulling it confirmed this luckily for us as it was a busy night of shooting the primer wasn’t enough to push the 145gn pill out of the case and we continued

Peering down into cases with light before seating works well when doing a batch,but smokey...with your whackamole you just HAVE to be systematic...no stopping for cuppa and coming back WITHOUT checking where your up to. Oh well no one died,you weren't lined up on big stag do chaulk it up to a booboo.
