What did you do today in the world of reloading?

[Younggun]

Charge a little extra up front. Add it as an option anyways.

People are far more likely to compare up prices than small accessories when press shopping.


And they can charge more for it as an extra than if it were included.


Not bashing the manufacturer, they all do it. Well, except for Lee. But Lee is after a different reloading market than RCBS, Hornady, Dillon, etc.

Won another raffle for 2 jugs of wc844 powder. Got it in yesterday so I can figure Nally find sh off my 223s. I still have about 1800 ready to load.

Couple work guys wanna go shoot this weekend so I picked up some bullets and brass to load up for my wife's 243. Had a clip-n-snip done last Friday so I've been a bit hesitant to go pull the lever for fear of hurting my balls. I'll try a few tonight though and see how it goes.

Hope to sight in and break the barrel in on that 243 and the Ruger 223 rifle. Also hope to test my tuned 45 loads in my XDm and see if they are going to work for me.

Got my pistol rotor & insert yesterday. Was planning on trying it out but we had commitments so maybe during the week.

 

[Younggun]

Loaded 2 more .50BMG batches to test at 233 and 235 grains of Reloder50.

Hoping to find a good load around 2700-2750fps.

I get about 30 rounds/pound. Really fun to shoot though. And easier to hear the steel ring at long distances.

My ears are still ringing.

My ears are still ringing.

Yeah, I don’t think that was from the steel.

You're right. I didn't hear that at all.

I swear I didn’t notice and my laughter was only to cover the pain.

Tested my new loads today. Really like this new powder, it’s much pressure wave is much less violent as it plows in to your sinus cavity. Kind of pleasant really.


Loads performed well but have a vertical stringing issue that I think is being caused by the monopod. I’ve seen the same with every load and it seems to be random. Not based on barrel temps.

Dayyyum. That sucks.

Dayyyum. That sucks.

It will make your head spin.

The 4th shot I ever fired from a BMG.. I was about to pull the trigger and realized I wasn’t wearing eye pro. Put on my glasses and pulled the trigger. I thought the gun had exploded. Was checking myself for blood when I realized I didn’t have my ear pro on.

It rattles the brain and the world goes quiet.

I've heard you need to have your mouth open as well. Is that true?

Nope.


If you aren’t wearing ear pro I don’t think anything is gonna help. With ear pro you just feel it hit your sinuses. It’s really not bad, just a weird feeling the first time. Doubt opening your mouth would do anything except let grass and dirt blow in from the muzzle blast.

Well I'm jealous either way. The biggest thing I have ever shot was a 460 weatherby mag. All I know is it was a Ruger Alaskan. It was all plastic and light as a feather. I don't even remember if it was a single shot or bolt gun. Beat the shit outta my arm though. Only thing that ever left a sore spot on me aside from 100 rounds of 3.5" goose loads...

You could probably shoot the Armalite all day and the only part of you it would really hurt would be your wallet. It’s got a good push but really doesn’t hit you.

It does clear off anything you leave on the bench. Took my hat off cause it was bumping the scope and found it a few feet behind me. Chronograph box was laying in the grass on the other side.


If we ever have a meet somewhere that allows it I’ll have it with me (assuming I make it) and your welcome to shoot it. Just don’t forget the ear pro.
