By the way, posting on the forum while reloading is a surefire way to get a KABOOM....

I've loaded thousand of straight wall pistol before, just never rifle. Setting things up is always extremely slow for me. I just don't have a good brain for proper trial and error type stuff. As an example, I spent time prepping about 50 cases and was ready to go tonight. It's been an hour and I've loaded.... Six. I don't have time to load the 30 I planned for tomorrow's outing. Oh well.

I did it! I ended up loading 50 test rounds for tomorrow. 55gr Hornady SX over Tac 21.5, 22, 22.5, 23, 23.5 grains. In the past, it always seemed to take me FOREVER to dial in the powder drop for a load. It wasn't quite as much of a fuss this time.

We'll see how they shoot tomorrow.

Having loaded the SX rounds before. I would not have started any lower than 22.5. It's good to get a baseline of how the rifle performs across the board, but the fps of that 21.5gr is something to be desired. Now accuracy wise, who knows it might be the winner.

liberals had nothing to do with this ;) However with the changing demographic of NoCo i will say it wouldn't surprise me if some sensitive homeowner actually called the cops on kids.
In windsor you needed approval to set up an archery area in your yard. And shooting a bb gun was the same penalty as discharging a firearm. Thanks to some twitfuk newspaper editor whose window was shot out by a bb gun vandal.

I don't understand. If the fps of 21.5 is desirable, why would you start so much higher? Just a typo?

The hardest part with those rounds is that they have a flat base, so I have to slowly guide each round into the die by hand, which slows things down considerably. Fine for just getting started, but really wonder how I'll feel about it over the next 900 rounds.

As a side note, I realize that there is a Reloading forum, but until I run into a more serious issue, I figure I won't clutter it up with normal starting woes. I am having trouble with getting consistency with my RCBS trimmer though...
