Default Man, I had a reloadig flashback last night

I bought a used Dillon 450 a couple years ago and after a few upgrades I've been using it for most reloading. Test batches I tend to still do on my Lyman turret. Last night I needed to prime some 38 S&W cases for some test loads and I decided to dust off the old Lee hand primer. It's been a while since I've set in front of the TV priming cases.

These are for the 124gn, Bullseye, 38 S&W loads I'm been saying I was going to test. Labor Day weekend my family and a couple friends families are going camping at a state park, which has a pistol range. So far I've come up with a pair of 2" revolvers and a 5" revolver in 38 S&W. I believe he has a 3 1/5" revolver and a 6" revolver and a chronograph. So I'm loading up 25 each of ctgs using charges of 2.0gn. 2.2gn, 2.4gn and 2.6gn of Bullseye for velocity testing. We'll do POI testing after we get back because the range at the campground is only a 25 yard range. That seems a little far for our purposes.

I'll share the results table here for your entertainment.
