    do the math, and it tells me that you are using just under 30 grains per charge.

    am I right?
    math is for those who care... or ones who don't want to blow themselves or rifles up!



    How goes Belly?

    Load data says that 30 grains of 2460 for a 52 grain bullet will be VERY spicy...

    my ears have been blown out a couple times. It has so far caused balance problems, tinnitus, hearing loss, and an annoyed wife.

    now the wife wants to argue about something. Shit. Brb.

    lol. My wife doesn't argue about anything, she speaks up, then I put her in her place! HAHA, J/K J/K


    We have these giant bay's and echo like an SOB. We use hammers at least once a week, the radio is always blaring, and every tiny thing echo's. My wife says I have selective hearing, I tell her it's because I used 89 decibles constantly, so if you want my attention yell my name. She comes back with "you in our house" I respond with, "huh?"

    she finally came out and saw/heard where I work, and could finally understand. It's so bad that 1 out of 9 people get hearing aids.

    Also bought a set of Lee .223 dies and tumbler. I have lots of brass to clean before I can start reloading!

    I use reloading to calm my nerves. Focusing on something intently is part of the relief of shell shock.
