ACLOCO I know this will likely not be a day you can shoot but it looks like Tuesday it will in the 50's and lite winds here. Looks like a warming trend this week , but I bet by the weekend that will stop. Who knows?
204 try it you'll like it!

I might not be pretty, but no one said I was stupid! It's fifteen here this morning, with a wind chill of about 4, so my carcass is going to get caught up on some loading until the game. Colts 28-17

DA BEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




:lmao: Actually I would like to see Brian Urlacher get a ring. He's from that Mike Singletary mold with speed. Very quiet fella that just does his job. Manning will have another shot. Not so sure about Chicago.

Should be a good game for a while tho. :wtg:

I think the Colts will celebrate with their wives in front of the fireplace, on Bearskin rugs.

45 F temp, little to no wind. A good day! See comments. Will give a FULL review when I am done with all the rounds.

Don't forget, these loads will probably not be "one hole groups", as every round is a tenth of a grain different than the last.

32 gr Hornady VMax under 24.1 to 26.0 of REL 10x-DONE 2/6/07
Excellent grouping in the 24.6-25.0 range - under a dime.

32 gr Hornady VMax under 26.1 to 28.0 grains of Benchmark DONE 2/6/07
26.6 to 27.0 excellent. One called flyer - I sneeze..could not believe it!! 27.1 to 27.5 was an excellent group. 3 in a cluster and two seperate, but overlapping.

39 gr Sierra BK under 28.1 to 30.0 grains of BLC2 - DONE 2/6/07.
1" plus groups throughout. Maybe my barrel does not like 39 grain BK's?

40 gr Hornady VMax under 23.1 to 25.0 of REL 10x DONE 2/6/07.
ALL of these groups were awesome. 0.6" or less. 24.1-24.5 and 24.6-25.0 were the best. Nearly all had signs of primers cupping and slightly bulging - be wary!!!

40 gr Nosler SP under 28.1 to 30.0 grains of BLC2 DONE 2/6/07.
28.6-29.0 was a good group. One called flyer - otherwise, would have been 3/8", outside to outside. 29.1 to 29.5 was good.
