Today was a perfect day to shoot....sunshine , “zero” wind, temperatures from 28 F to 34 F. The loads, that I threw together.....apparently I was throwing “knuckle” balls, didn’t work. The groups, a loosely thrown term....were slightly “south” of hideous!
Using the same procedure I used for “fire-forming” ( great groups), didn’t work with already formed....fill the case to the bottom of neck and seat a bullet. Wanted to use a powder that I had an excess of (90+ pounds of mil-surplus) rather than one of my powders used for hunting loads. I may have to regroup and try again! memtb
