    Not sure what free Strelok does, I have pro.

    Bolt the rifle to a bench, then use a hundred foot string to pull the trigger......... Naw, just kidding, if you have paid careful attention to all the details and loaded with no distractions, you will be good to go.

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

    Yeah i was going to do some reference to the greatest criminal mastermind Robert Underdunk Terwilliger Jr., PhD. Then couldn't decide if i'd throw in his former boss, or nemesis as down the road pwt points.

    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.
