The Great Kazoo's Feedback
"when you're happy you enjoy the melody but, when you're broken you understand the lyrics".
Finished loading that pound of powder, almost exactly 25% of the rounds had charges that varied by up to 1.5gr off from the norm. Not sure if I got a faulty unit or what, but its definitely going back.
loaded 60 rnds of 300 rum 208 grain a max and cleaned the bench
YOU ARE COMPLACENT !! DO YOU VOTE ? MAKE CALLS ? OR DO YOU JUST HIDE AND TAKE IT ? THEN YOU WANT TO BE A PATHETIC COMPLAINER AFTER THE FACT! HIDE IN THE SHADOWS TURN AWAY AND SOON THE GIFT WILL BE ....TYRANNY!!!
Thanks for the tips KS63 and encorehunter! I've looked into other brands and was leaning towards the Hornady LNL one, can be had for around $70, but then I hear that RCBS is better quality and its at $80-100. It would just be nice to not have to weigh 223 plinkers and know they are closer the 0.1gr difference than the 2+ gr difference I was getting with the Lee (even though those charges were still within specs, theres nothing that says it couldn't suddenly spit out one with 15gr and cause a squib or something).
Got a Lee classic cast press to dedicate to decapping. Mounted it up on a spare workmate I had around. I won't load any faster but it'll be cleaner!
Trying my hand at 30 Carbine
Helped a friend load 45 ACP on a single stage. Great learning experience for him. So slooooooooow though![]()
Kept working on my bathroom.eyed my components wistfully. I'm happy that winter is coming. Maybe I'll find some time to do some loading and shooting.
