Tales from the Reloading Room

[Pochanaquarhip]

Took today off because I was going to need a mental health day if the Chiefs lost the Super Bowl last night so I’m taking advantage of the day off and doing a little sorting and organizing in my reloading room and I almost have a 5 gallon bucket full of cleaned Lake City 5.56 brass.

I keep the other headstamps separate.

Yep. I use the Lyman reamer that cuts them out. Looks clean and it's cheap.

Doing flash holes now

I Swage them out with a Lee App. That thing is one heck of a plastic contraption but it’s fast and didn’t cost much.

Hoping for that Saturday morning.

Well I got to shoot 5 it was getting dark and I guess that’s why the chronograph didn’t pick up the last 2 shots but for hunting I’m dam happy! Had to use an old target the bottom 2 were from another time

 

[Kwaynem]

The shot that’s high was my first shot

Nice shooting.

Could lack of light caused the last 2 dropped shots?

Not with the V3. Magneto = magnetic. Where is the end of you muzzle in relation to the bow?
