I think its safe to say that combo you worked up is a keeper. I have some old 30-06 bullets I loaded up to test that I never got around to actually shooting. That was probably pushing two years ago, guess I should get on that.

Yeah dude, I actually loaded up 13 different charges like a YEAR ago LOLL. I just got busy with life and whatnot. Here is all 13 loads. I was happy with the .75" groups the. I got the .31" and I was like F******kkkk

That's a big difference. I think the quick way of doing that is called the ladder test, but I'd honestly have to look it back up. I haven't reloaded in quite some time, college just kinda got in the way.

Yeah it is a Ladder load test. Each load was 0.3 grains apart. Now that I have data, I'll fine tune the overall length of the bullet to get the right seat depth relationship of the ogive of the bullet to the lands of the barrel. Once I have that, I'll make a bunch more of that load.

Which sounds good.... but With medic school coming up... it's gonna have to wait for another year. For now I have a ton of Prime 130 grain factory Ammo which shoots outstanding

Do it during medic school, need something to have a break from time to time.

Yeah. Good times. Looking forward to loading tons of 9mm as well for my CZ Scorpion Evo 3 Carbine I'm gonna get sometime in the relatively near future.

.45ACP is gonna be a nice little addition to my collection, I'll just have to see why Uncle Sam is so thrilled with it!

Seriously...for second or two, that is really good considering the distance you were shooting. I'm on track to pick up a Glock 34 this month and then start going back to IDPA matches. I'm trying to whittle my stuff down to 5.56/.223, 308/7.62, 9mm, .45, and some .22. Not a huge shotgun fan so 3 gun is out. Kinda like Quigley, not so much I can't shoot one, I just don't have much use for them.

Fiance went with me so I had to bring the .22. I'm unloading all my 223/5.56. And only keeping 1 7.62. Mostly handguns here. 9mm,10mm,.45, .357 here

If you would get out of that state you wouldn't have to unload the good stuff. Believe it or not there is life elsewhere and in many cases much, much cheaper than NY.:cool:

Hmmmm when I'm out in a free state my list will be a .45, 9mm (ccw), 5.56/.223, 6.8 spc, and a 12 gauge. Nothing too crazy but every gun serves a purpose.
