i finally got around to shooting my husky m46 in 9.3x57 with the 2-7x leopold. i was using the 280gr fn gc (bull shop) and imr4895. the middle target was for sighting it in. the bottom left target is around 1 1/4 - 1 3/8" (outside edge - outside edge) at 100 yards(5 shots/benched). now all i need is dummkopf to write the charge of powder in!!! the only saving grace is the powder charge is minimal, 37 - 38gr of imr4895.

i think i am getting old. i used to able to know what powder charge goes into what cartridge. now i have to look it up. you know if you go to kitchen to fill up your coffee cup and go to table to sit down. well not me, i have to get back up and bring the refilled coffee cup to the table. dummkopf is usually my nice word to describe myself. i won't tell you the bad word(s) to describe myself.

The more particular reloaders keep notebooks to record their loads. I made up a batch of mailing labels with blank spaces for the load data and put one on each box. At the range the fired cases go back into the same box, and I'll scribble my observations of how well the load shot on the label. So when I get around to reloading the brass, I have a record of the load data right in front of me.

Way over $600 buck..30# boxes Unopened target premium Speer, federal, lulpa..

Eightieth birthday breathing down my neck... conjuring too many such incidents! But perhaps improving? Recalling fewer and fewer anymore!

Best & keep safe!
