    Yeah. Used to play the same game on my motorbike when I was younger and stupider(?).
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    Me too !
    Actually summers coming up.....but with the sudden explosion in the number of speed cameras, probably not a good idea.
    I’ll wander down to the garage and give the bike a quick polish.


    Edit: sorry, horribly off topic.
    He nui to ngaromanga, he iti to putanga.

    You depart with mighty boasts, but you come back having done little.
    Sounds like a typical hunting trip !

    Mr Headroom

    This is a good article on what to look for with your brass as you head north.

    https://www.primalrights.com/library...nding-pressure

    I go past max rarely, don't normally feel the need to, but I did with my Creedmoor with the Lapua small primer brass. Went in 0.2gr increments.

    Another good source I enjoy is Johnny's Reloading Bench as he covers a lot of the cartridges I'm interested in.

    That first piece is the clearest , best illustrated and most helpful article I have read so far. I'll definitely circle back to reading it again.
