There is a fella in our club who is now utterly convinced that he only shoots so that he can reload......
I am 100% in agreement with him I can spend days in the comfort of my re loading room just tinkering.
I have to shoot them so I have some thing to reload for. I have bought rifles just because I fancied re loading the calibre it was chambered in.
I also went through a phase were I bought re loading dies in weird calibers in the off chance I would find a rifle in that calibre and I would actually be able to re load for it.
I have 11mm mauser 455 webley 310 cadet and all sorts of stuff hidden in boxes in the hope that I might one day get a bang stick in one of these calibres.
You never know I live in hope. emrolleyes
I have never calculated the ratio of reloading and shooting time but I would guess that reloading takes three times the hours I spend on the firing point, possibly more.
The two are inseparable.
This thread proves only that we all achieve our goal by different routes and that the cleverer ones amongst us, like David, Mik,and others; are continually striving to improve and share the techniques and kit involved in the development of our sport.
No money has changed hands in the production of this snivel.
Fourteen of the 43 came out at 167.4grains.
The rest of them came out at 167.5grains.
The next step is to re load the 167.5 grain bullets but first I need to decide what starting OAL to aim for. Hmm decisions decisions. tesnews
I have just spent a couple of hours sat in front of my computer entering the data I have produced from my first stab at using the comparator to measure my OAL.
Whilst doing this I have been using a Arbor press and the Le Wilson dies to build some rounds using my new found knowledge learnt from following this thread and reading up on stuff I was not sure of.
I have just measured every thing up and I am convinced this is the most accurate dimensional ammo I have ever made every cartridge is EXACTLY the same length.
Incredible now I understand why Bench rest and F class guys use this kit. It is a shame to shoot them I think I will get them mounted in a glass case they are works of art. :shakeshout:
Does not mean they will be any more accurate than my current stuff that remains to be seen.
I enjoyed that. What can I have go at next. Hmmmmmmmmmm. tesnews
