    Well, I lived and nothing broke, permanently. I have a bruise on my chest.
    After the first five rounds 10.5 gr 1680, the trigger was completely locked up. I was about to pack it up and head home when I realized the trigger pin had worked its way out of one hole and jammed the trigger assembly at an angle. I got it back in the correct position and just kept an eye on it.
    Other than that, and how terrible I am at shooting slow and deliberate, everything went well. All the rounds cycled by the way. I'll send you some pictures tomorrow. Looks like 12 gr and 13.5 gr were the sweet spots.

    For everyone else, this was 208gr Amax over Accurate 1680 ranging from 10.5 - 14.5 gr. The 14.5 hurt my shoulder and my nose at the same time.

    On a side note, thanks everyone who was concerned about me. Kind of nice to see that more people than just my dog would notice if I never came home. Ha

    She is fine. Jumps onto my bed and licks my face every damn morning about the time I'm supposed to be up.

    Yeah seconded. I looked at the title of the thread and thought oh man I just saw Irving, what happened. I'm glad you did not damage any of your firearms with Ray's Mickey Mouse loads though. Disaster averted.

    I do apologize to those I may have worried a bit with the title.

    Although the dark, twisted part of me does kind of find the humor in it.

    And, just for the record, I'm overly anal about the safety of my reloads. I knew he'd be fine. Been loading since 1991 and haven't blown anything up yet. Knock on wood.
