    I've been really surprised how much difference a few grains of projectile weight, and different powder, can really mess with a shooter new to reloading.

    Its not necessarily for stopping a bad guy, it's for squeezing out two fast back to back shots to work on recoil mitigation, and sight alignment by feel so to speak.

    OBC, by plinking I just meant shooting for fun.

    Oh, I totally get that, brother. But we always seem to be trying something new. All of it is fun, but I always want to hit the target....I want to get better, always.

    One example would be rounds hitting the paper 8 to 10 inches below the scope zero from previously loaded rounds, at 100 yds.

    Spent a few hours rewiring the radio on the classic mini. I think my 12 year old could have done better than the clown who did the original job.

    So I was in the mood for some breakfast sandwiches the other week and was about to buy some at the store, then I saw they sell frozen egg patties, sausage patties and decided i'd make my own (probably healthier that way).

    Then I found this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    And holy crap!! Crack one egg in the egg cooker, add 1 tbsp milk, a little salt, scramble it, microwave for 1min and out comes a super fluffy egg patty! Toast an english muffin, toss a slice of cheese on it and assemble.

    Delicious breakfast, no crap fillers like frozen or fast food joints, and honestly, it tastes better too!

    Ya know, just fyi. In case anyone else enjoys breakfast sandwiches and wants a cheaper alternative!
