Did I say I was looking for the perfect bullet?. I found two. But my barrel is wonky so I didn’t but them. My ones I have work pretty good. Good enough for this gun. Went shooting a couple times doing ok.

a little frustrated maybe. Testing, testing with some good results. Next I have to sight in my scope a little better. Everything is high. So I don’t have any idea where it’s shooting at 200. This is my ultimate goal. A three shot group on 10 inch steel @ 200. Did it with my other gun, but then something went wrong with the load and scope. Got frustrated sold the gun. Bought another one all different.

it’s just getting humdrum. Everyday good. Need xcitement and accomplishments. I’ll stick with it as longs as I have a change I know to make. Sight in scope, reloading, try again at 200. Gonna try a new lube. But that’s it everything the same.

little bullets shooting best. How are your eyes now guys?
For distance, my eyes are great! Up close/reading is a struggle. I have new prescription glasses, both for everyday and certified safety glasses for work with progressive lenses. They work good for day to day stuff, but I am struggling with using iron sights, even at 20 yards as I can't focus on the target and the sight picture at the same time. I am a bit frustrated with this. Hand gun is no problem, just rifle. Scope is perfect!!

Two weeks coming up of inclement weather. I don’t see an opening for shooting in the 14 day forecasters. Even the humidity is high. I have reloading out in the shed, which is open air. ahem. The humidity would make my powder damp. I have had some light clumping. This could be the reason. BothBP and some older ones. I usually wait until the % is below 50. Takes some waiting during winter. Anybody experience this?

LOL, a pair of geese are nesting on our outdoor range; the lower end is under 6" of water; I expect a few flocks of ducks behind the indoor range; it is a swamp in a dry year.

how Much evaporation can there be. Getting to the targets could be a problem. But a nice flat surface with no weed cutting. Shooting could be 1-200 yds. Walking around the swamp…………a possibility.

we are in the 50s too

Still raining, and the frost is coming out of the berm; unfortunately the berm acts like a dyke preventing natural drainage. It sucks.
