    Ran out of Hornet last night, so just ran another 66 X Sierra 40grn #1200 SP with 9.8grn ADI AR2205
    These are the lightest projectile I've loaded so far, so I'm expecting and increase in velocity and probably an increase in terminal destruction. I'm heading out to a cattery tonight to check the velocity on the Rabbitonagragh!
    Tricky place to hunt. Lots of scrubby gullies where they hide, come out to graze, but are skittish and never more than two hops from the scrub. What they don't know is, with the thermal in can still see them in the scrub. LOL Such Fun!

    The test load box contains 6 of each batch I've loaded. There are 13 different powder/load/projectile combinations so far. 5 for a target group (because 3 shot groups are useless!) plus one for the milk bottle test! I LOVE milk bottle tests, but without the American sound track!

    PS Thanks Richard Wilhelm for the projectiles. The 1210 were very good as this photo shows
