I thought I might have heard it from you Dan. My neighbor is shooting off 25 round Mag. I can still hear and still count at least.

My ears are bad but gunfire does not get me and one thing i have always been at is counting but not before the chickens hatch.

The wife came home from work today and apparently was thinking about the weatherby most of the day.... so off to the gun store we went and returned with this.

 

Weatherby Vanguard 2 Camilla in 6.5 creedmoor as well.  Fits me like garbage and her like a glove.  

 

 

 

Since we own 2 of the same I guess I have to start reloading.......oh darn

Winchester Model 70 . . . . in .300 Winchester.

Leupold fixed 6x

Grizzly sh!t

[Me78569]

It only took 2 weeks to get to this point, but I have reloaded a few rounds lolol.   

 

$.55 cents a round compared to $1.30-$1.60 per round.......that is if you ignore the upfront cost of the reloading stuff  

 

 

 

Wifes Rifle ready sight in.  guess I have to take her hunting now lol

Better get out there more often

Basic book loads?

 

Did you get a chronograph too?

[Me78569]

Nope, I have a friend with one.

 

Hornady load data, nothing fancy.  Trying to mirror the factory bullet.

Perfect. 

 

I recommend not loading up a bunch right away. 

 

Load in groups of 3 with small changes, 0.5gr, of power. Go test fire them thru the chronograph. You're looking for the powder load the provides the smallest variance in fps. That's a load the gun likes and will be the most accurate with. 

[Me78569]

I am waiting on a case trimmer to come in before I can reload most of my brass.  I will give your recommendation a go before I start reloading higher quanity.

It's all over now...the more you reload the more crap you realized that you "have" to buy.  Another thing I have found is how the bullet's seating depth changes accuracy and consistency.  Hornady makes an OAL gauge and when used with the comparator tool is makes seating your bullets super consistent.  But that all requires more stuff to buy.  Good luck, I found that I really enjoy reloading, but now I have brass stored everywhere, even for guns I don't have.

[Me78569]

Yep, I think I enjoy reloading more than shooting lol.   I ran ouf of brass to reload with.....    

 

 

 

End up being pretty happy with 2 loads

1. eldx 143gr with 41.5gr of h4350 

2. eldm 123gr with 43.8 gr of h4350 

 

Both rounds are accurate enough to hit what you are aiming for at 300 yards.

Compact 9mm with a 10 round capacity. Should be a good conceal carry gun. Made in USA too!

Kind of doesn't work too good when it's in a box with the trigger locked. Works much better on your hip ready to go loaded. Like mine is loaded and worn nearly daily. Never leave home without it.

 

Firestar 9mm Made in Spain...

C’mon mike. Box is the ultimate conceal! Who’s gonna know what’s in there??

[Mopar1973Man]

Thief - This is a hold-up.

 

Trreed - Let me go back to my truck and unlock my gun so I can shoot you. 

 

Thief - "BANG"

 

Trreed - ....

 

A locked up weapon is worthless. A weapon left behind in your vehicle is worthless. A weapon locked up in a gun safe is worthless. 

 

Average 911 response time here in my area is better than 1 hour. You better be able to hold your own for at least 1 hour.

[trreed]

I mean, I picked it up just yesterday and that’s how it came in the box so there’s that....

I intend to carry so it’s not going to stay locked. I don’t have kids around to worry about.
