I got 50 rounds loaded up the same only with 68 grains of Swiss 1.5.

Looking forward to seeing how that load works for you.

Heyy Rick good to see you up and kicking around.
RE: Finally - Rick Mulhern - 02-15-2017
Leg has recovered and I'm doing pretty well! Been watching your weather and know you'll be glad to see warmer weather! How many calves been dropped so far??
RE: Finally - Don McDowell - 02-15-2017
Yessir , the weather has turned around again. 45 right now and headed for 60+.
Don't have to worry about calves anymore, those are Cody Smith's problem.

Nope. Maybe tomorrow afternoon if I can get outta the office. Full sun and 67 tomorrow. Wind is 15 to 20 outta SW but it shouldn't hit my range. My range is sort of like shooting in a 400 yard tunnel. Range is out in the sticks but only 1000 yards from my office.
