Paper patch and steel

[Kurt]

Eric, ever hear the saying; the Man with one gun, one load?
I'm working my way in that direction

[Eric Johanen]

That is probably true, but what fun is that? Different rifles and cartridges add a little spice to life. All of them are fun to work with and testing them out in different types of competition make for a great shooting experience.

yes that is fun during the practice at the Q and Baker. But when it's time to step up to the line and you find out you don't have enough ammo of the good stuff left and your spotter (my Wife) asks if your going to use the loads that shoots so well and you say yup! and then go to the ammo locker and you see you only have less then 25 rounds left and I tell her that I have to start looking for that steel brain pot and get ready for the tongue lashing "when are you going to learn to just bring one rifle and load that works"

[Eric Johanen]

Kurt, you just have to put a padlock on the ammo locker and give your wife the keys. She can dole out the ammo and keep back enough for you to shoot the match! My reloading area is starting to take over my dwelling. Really concentrating on the black powder cartridge rifles this season and will probably go through a case of powder. Need to cast and lube or wrap more bullets. I am having good results and shooting Creedmoor and steel matches is teaching me a bit more about the mechanics of shooting these rifles. Especially sight alignment and adjustment. Lot's of fun!
