Thread: Old Handloads

@grandpamac I resemble those remarks lol. A couple of times, in a fit of reloader's enthusiasm, I've made far more of a particular load up than common sense might suggest. Given that the load I may have thought was the ducks nuts 5 years ago, of which I made 200 and shot about 38, turned out not to be so hot compared with my most recent effort. Moreover, it used a now unobtainoum powder that turns out to be the primo choice for a new calibre I acquired. Knocking those cast loads back to their components was a tedious reminder to just load enough for immediate needs. Which needs, for hunting in particular, tend to be far less than one might dream of.

I have managed to curb my enthusiasm a little from my early years, most of the time. F-class shooting allows me to load more than previously and also given some of my rifles more purpose.
