Sorry to hear of your hail damage.

I've been stuck down in Denver all this week for training, but talked to my mom the other night (who lives in Ft. Collins) and she was afraid at one point that the hail was going to start breaking windows on the north side of her house. I called my brother who lives within a mile of me here in Loveland and he said they had zero hail. Amazing how localized it can be.

It's better, but we're going to miss all those tomatoes. And fresh lettuce, and the tree in the front yard, etc...
Oh, and thank goodness it was the company car that got trashed, that's the second one!

Anyone remember who was looking to trade 2 1lb cans of TAC, for 2lbs of hand gun powder? Don't see it posted, might have been traded.

[Cry] I had to pack up my reloading room and toss out a bunch of crap to prepare for our move. [Cry]

"But honey, I'm saving those empty ammo boxes so that when I reload I can put the rounds in there instead of just a ziploc baggie..."

I mean, its not like I'm going to have time to go to the range anytime soon anyways, so why not. [gohome]

She'll thank you for boxing vs plastic, if she needs to move something by herself, while you're out of town. Summer in South America, enjoy , Via con Dios, compadre.

Im interested in the results. I have the same combo. I used 23.1 grains, 24.7 and 25.1. What did you start with? They wern't as accurate as the Horiday 55 grain. Or I was just off that day.

Observed another board member convince himself, he needed a 1050.

Swaged a bunch of .30-06 brass and load a few hundred 55 gr .223 rounds. Tumbled clean a bunch of 9mm for a friend.

Rifle brass prep is just about a daily thing. If you have it, you might as well swage, size and trim it, even if you aren't ready to load it [Flower]
