    Ordered some primed 2 1/2" Fiocchi 410 shells and will consider reloading some 410 as it is almost unobtaineum.
    Ordered this


    I have a Governor, my only 410. But I have ammo for guns that I don't have so what's one more?

    That’s a steal from what I’m reading on other forums.

    I’ll do without if I have to deal with Larry for a couple pounds and all the costly regulations.

    I’ll go ahead and say it here first: I think I’m losing interest in shooting anymore.
    I have a grandson that will get the hardware and wife’s cousin who will get all the rifle ammo since I don’t think he’s much of a pistolero. Three tours so he may be, I don’t know, we don’t talk about it.

    I definitely shoot so I can reload and fondle my firearms!

    I understand this statement.


    Reloading has a weird effect on your shooting habits. It's a hobby in itself and isn't necessarily 100% tied to shooting.

    Ammo prices are really starting to hurt my feelings.

    Component availability is still very scarce.

    And over the years I have spent 10x more time watching my kids shoot instead of me doing the shooting.

    I’m sure we’ve all heard the adage: do I shoot to have something to reload or do I reload to have something to shoot?

    I thought after moving to Pearland(first time living away from Big D)I’d quit shooting since I was also leaving Mickey Lowrey’s River lease. I was there three to four times a week but I found Tomball Gun Club and that place was magical as well(but a little contained, but tolerable)but for the last year this new club president has transformed it into what he wanted it to be and for his style of shooting.

    I just can’t get excited about going anymore so the ammo fort gets larger and yet I keep on cranking rounds out since it’s what I do to keep sane.

    Yesterday I primed some 6.5 needmore virgin Hornady brass. Cci 34

    Today:
    Shot some 6.5 Grendel loads for an accuracy test. Using Lapua 108 scenars at Ramshot Tac started at 29 gr and moved up to 29.9 which seemed to either be a max load or just under based off a few sources. Looking for something flatter shooting than 123 SST or 130 ELD-m.
    Had one decent group (top right) at 29.6 gr Tac, the rest were basically trash. 2.26 coal.

    Pretty much been the same with Tac and 123 SST, BL-(c)2 and 123 SST. H335 was a little better with the 123, maybe I’ll try it with the 108’s

    I've got about 14 pounds of lovex equivalent a5 powder left. I've loaded thousands of rounds with it. It's a pretty good all around powder.

    I think ... I glanced at my reloading table ... no wait ... I put a screwdriver down on it while working on an electric tug.
    And I also realized that I have a batch of 50 .308s loaded with a new bullet and different powder charges. And I have been just looking for an excuse to go one weekend morning. And I've been forgetting. I gotta go to the range!!
