Oh those look almost to perty too shoot. I am waiting for decent weather also. Been working loads for the Saeco 645 bullet that a friend sent me for testing. Got 40 loaded and ready to go if I could only get a weekend with no rain and howling winds we would be in business. I have high hope for this bullet.

Sounds like next week we should get some good weather in here, so after I get caught up on all the things we've had to postpone,,, hopefully get to see how these things fly.
Think you'll like that 645 bullet.

Well I will keep my fingers crossed for you if you could do the same for me. Looks like it will be 58 and partly sunny for us here on Sunday. We shall see how windy it is.

Oh yuck. No thanks I am a tropical peoples

Hey Don think I saw that your wife shoots the 645? I am hoping it does well in my 1-22 rot at least to 500.
RE: Waiting for good weather - Don McDowell - 03-03-2015
Yessir she shoots that bullet. I do know of a couple of Uberti's with the 20 inch twist, a purpose built Shiloh with a 20 in twist and an original trapdoor that shoots the bullet well. I suspect it will be alright in your old roller. But the target will tell the tale.
RE: Waiting for good weather - JReed - 03-03-2015
Yes Sir it sure will. Just got done loading the last of them now I am really hoping for good weather
RE: Waiting for good weather - Don McDowell - 03-03-2015
