Only from a guy in Alaska can 20F be considered "mild"!

In all seriousness, I remember seeing this phenomenon at temperatures in the area canoe has mentioned. I thought it was kind of weird that I would get 2200fps from a round loaded just like another that gave only 1200fps!

I used Blue Dot when I first started to load magnum cases as it was readily available locally and cheap. After that incident though, I used it for fertilizer.


Mild, short shirt sleeve weather, hey!
