NICE! We're you waiting for them to land or just shooting them right off the Tee's at the driving range? [LOL]

I like the flexibility of the 1:7. I don't ever plan on going lighter than 55gr, but having the option of going heavier is something I like.

Then utilize the low end of powder weight, especially with the groups you have now. I dropped down to 22.5 gr for my 55gr jsp, tightened up almost twice as much than using 23.5. One day they should all be on one target!

Excited to go explore a nearby reloading store tomorrow. Supposedly, they reload your brass while you wait and also sell their powders/primers and have quite a bit in stock.

I've spent the past hour or so compiling a huge list of powders that I can use for my calibers. Wanting to consolidate my pistol powders to use one for all, so I have a pretty big list of those. Same goes for 223/308, but thats not as big as the pistol.

Ideally, I'd like to buy 8lbs of a powder for rifle and for pistol and have that for a while. Would love to get 1lb of IMR 4064 for rifle, found a place online with 8lbs in stock at a good price, but I don't want to lock myself into it. Meh, may just take a chance if the local shop doesn't have anything to my liking.

Oh crap, the wife just asked me what she would do with and how she'd go about selling my firearms should anything happen to me, along with their associated costs. What's worse is that I taught her how to shoot.

As goofy as it sounds, you should take care of it. My toys ar ebroken down , who gets what, who gets NFA , reloading presses, components etc.

Weird i keep having this dream that a pillow is slowly but surely being pressed on to my face. Gotta be a dream, just can't figure out where these damn feathers are coming from.

Unless you're reloading tons of 44mag or 50A&E, 8lbs of pistol powder should last you a LONG time.

Well that much I know, but more so for rifle. If I'm loading 4 calibers with that 8lb jug, thats only 2lbs per caliber and while still a lot of powder, isn't as extreme as it seems.
