I am still learning/testing - chaneylake - 05-12-2013
still always testing new loads in my .40-65, Swiss 1.5 is the only powder that I have ever shot, about 32 # so far, anyways with all the talk about Swiss and no compression I went to a 24 inch drop tube, 53 grains, which in my starline brass gives basically no compression, sending a 421.6 grain Paul Jones bullet down range, results today are worth sending some more down range in the no wind conditions that are predicted for Monday in my area, CCI BR2 primers, .03 fiber wad, 3.098 OAL, DGL lube, blow tube
had 5 basically touching at 300 yards, wind was going from 3-5 to gusts in the 15-20 mph, still fun
Cheers
going to town to visit "Mom", Happy Mothers Day to all
