    load testing.

    I had planned to go do some load testing today. Got up early but the temps were in the low 30*F so screw it. I do have a 127gr LXR Barnes load for the 6.5X300W that puts 3 shots into one hole but did want to test so other bullets(A-Frames) as well as some Barnes in other cartridges. Also had some new non-lead 223 and 204 loads to test. Maybe when it get a bit warmer I will take the chrono out and do some testing.
    Also need to zero in a bunch of rifles with non-lead ammo for 2019 here in wonderful Ca.


    It would be nice to start off the year with a range trip.
    A 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.

    I went Sunday at 10:00 AM after it warmed up. My goal is to go once a week until my hunt at the end of April.

      Oh God, I should be so lucky to get it that warm, probably in the mid teens and had a little wind to. Maybe make it close to ohhhhh 0 give or take some wc. Either one of ya want to come up here and shoot at the range I go to I would be glad to pay your 5 bucks each for the entire day of shooting. If that range isn't long enough for you we can drive up to Dillon MT and I'll take you as a guest for the day, this morning it was -7 with wind so dress warm. The Dillon range goes to 1,000 yards, lots a fun in the cool and doping wind practice.
      Happy New Year

        Hey brother, long time no see!

        Yeah I still have loads I loaded up from 2017 that I haven't shot...they were done during the warmer months so I wonder how they'll fair in the colder temps.
