Greetings All,
Just had a somewhat humbling experience. It is hay fever time again in HB and I have been feeling a bit jaded with it. I was thinking that I really should get some loads done for my T3 6.5 x 55mm. I had sorted out a load with the 129 grain SST and AR2209 some time back and shot of most of the old loads in a target shoot so now was a good time. Out to the shed and fished out the appropriate load record folder and cartridge box. Open the box and noted that the new cases I wanted to load were primed. Fished one out and it was loaded! All 20 were!! Looked in the data folder and found my record telling me that I loaded them 6 weeks ago. I remember that I loaded some test cartridges for my M38 6.5x55mm(and yes they were there) so must have done the others at the same time.
Without decent records I may have wondered about the load. Records for older handloaders are important as they fill in the blanks from a less than perfect memory.
Regards Grandpamac.
