Default I finally did it!

Started to load some ammo again after about a 6 month layoff.
In the last 4 days I loaded 2,000 rounds of 38 special. 2.9 grains
of Clays with a 125 grain bullets with Federal Magnum primers.
This is a load for my rifle for cowboy action. Now only about another
6 or so thousand rounds and I will be ready for the spring.

So with around 8,000 rounds for that weapon......

is all that ammo for a lot of practice or are you also going
to a lot of "Shoots" ?

Have fun.

I used to shoot 7 matches per month plus some practice and that
would be well over 1,000 rounds. In last 3 or 4 years no practice just
matches. However, several clubs have stopped shooting and I no
longer practice so 8k round will last several years. Until last year I
used to travel to shoot State Championship and National Championship
matches. All that came to a halt last year.
