    Miserable weather today, managed to test a few between heavy showers. A chance to use my new Redding body die.

    Prepping for a comparison test when I get the chance. 30.06 with Norma Oryx 180gn, .243W with Hornady ELD-X 90gn. Will be comparing White River Energetics LR and Federal 210 LR primers. Will make a post in Reloading Forum when the test is done.

    Some 175 targex, 178 eldm in 3006, and a small ladder of 220 swift with 55 gr sierras looking for something less explody at the far end.

    I thought 220 swift goes hand in hand with explody?

    My turn.

    We have an upcoming impromptu .303 shoot this weekend (anyone is welcome to come along, .303 or not) It will be P14's verses the rest.
    So thats rifles over 100 yrs old against allcomers.

    Cranked out some reworked Greek ammo, man I love Ball powder and running it through the thrower, it only takes a few minutes to slap together 100 rds.

    Nah thats just the green for good light, load is within spec. It flicks back to white lights while the next charge is being dropped, then goes green for good or red for bad.
