Thank you!

SWFA SS3-9x42 is mounted on low Talley Lightweights.

I have fireformed about 70 pieces of brass so far (planning 200). Rifle is showing signs of good accuracy during fireforming, but it's difficult to be sure - my range days were very windy/gusty and while the vertical was quite good, I was getting a couple inches of horizontal.

Attempted to load up some 88ELD's with my Redding die set and my seater was crimping the bullet just below the polymer tip, producing run-out of .003 -.005". Have attempted to cleaned up the die with some rough grit valve compound, but don't have any finer grit. Die is no longer crimping the 88's, but is putting some light, barely visible scratches in the same general area, RO was .001 to .002 for 5 rounds. Ordered some 600 & 800 grit from Brownell's, will finish die clean up and crank out some 88's to test!

Hoping to shoot something with the 88's this year!
