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

RE: Finally
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.Smile

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.
