Looks good, I need to go chrono one more load before I have to give the chrono back but we just finished my daughters first soccer game.

The 3 primers on the left are showing the type of cratering that comes from overpressure. At least from what I always thought it to look like, but everyone in my thread is saying that the tiny little ridge on all but the bottom 4 loads show overpressure, which doesn't make sense.Quote:

They also sail that their lr loads showed more cratering than that. Upon further review, there isn't a significant difference between the 39.5 load and the 43.5 load.
Oh, heavens. I got inspired (daft) and cleaned up the bench, then bought and installed a vertical bookshelf to move all the manuals, load info, etc. etc. and other catalogs and stuff off the bench and vertical up the wall at the end. WOW did that open up some room on the bench. Now I can get busy filling up all the newly freed up space! This necessitated moving my primary press down a bit, which is good, since it was too close to the wall anyway.
All in all, it was a productive day. Much better than yesterday when I let a a nicely ordered box of test loads of 30-06 fall over and mix with one another, basically negating any reason for driving all the way to the range. So, what the heck, I shot them up in the M1 Garand. Life is good.
Moved my wife's built-by-me chicken coup outside and my ZRX back inside. Huge victory fellas.
Barreled a 300blk pistol. Installed free float tube and sights.
Stashed away about 10k of 22 that was setting idle here and there.
Killed another 8 lb jug of H-1000 and made a bunch of 300 Whisper/Blackout brass.
Found a spot for the 550. Still need to organize some more.
