Range report, yahoo!!!!!!

[Hunt200]

Well I made it to the range with my first batch of reloads. I must say I am extremely happy!!! I used 4.0 G. of Unique under a home cast 158 G. RN. They preformed great!! I cleaned the gun and it did not have any leading so I guess my homemade beeswax lube did its job!!

I want to thank everyone who helped me along in this process!!! I am hooked!!

Nice shooting! Looks like you did better freehand than from a rest.

Yup I did, the 21 foot one was my first string of 6, I'll admit I was a tad nervous, I was hoping I did everything right with the reloads. I calmed down on the 30 ft target and was happy with that. Then I reeled it in to 15 feet and made sure I paid attention to all I know about shooting and was very pleased.

Well now you've done it.. You have eliminated all of your excuses for bad shooting in the future....


Nice shooting.

You done good. Unfortunately, girl friends and wives don't like this hobby as it takes time from them...that's why I have a dog.

Outstanding! Love seeing range reports.

My wife proclaims she is a "hunting widow" when archery season rolls around and will "see him again at Christmas."

Last week she told my visiting parents that now she's a "reloading widow" and that I should just sleep in the friggin basement with the bullets. So, my question is....does Lee make a single stage matress or am I gonna have to spring for a progressive here?

On topic...very nice groups. I have had similar results with .38 special loads of ~4.7 grains of unique and a Missouri bullet 158 LSWC.

Very nice shooting.

Satisfying finding a good shooting load that you've worked up.

Nice load, nice group = fun day at the range.

It's a start!

Now, what is the reason for larger group sizes -- cause it's gonna' happen??
