    It sounds as though you are doing flik flaks down the hallway CD
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Thanks Rushy - you pretty much hit the nail on the head there!

    I have been busy this weekend working around the Life sentence block but I did manage to get time to take a photo of the first outing at the NZDA range for a verification of 100m range performance. I'll load the first target of 5 rounds I shot up there.

    Thanks also to the other left hookers up there who also helped me break the girl in with a couple of other 5 shot strings. (Richard and Mark)
    Can't wait to get started on some load development and was a little surprised the Hornady v-max 55's were a little less tight to group that the Factory 55SP's.

    Be interested to know any trial brews or projectiles I should take a look at for reloading especially for 1:12 twist Remington 700's out there. Was headed towards the v-max route but also conscious of using this for neck shooting smaller fallow and goats.

    I'll post a shot of it hopefully tomorrow was a little late to take a shot to show the girl off to her best...

    CD.
