Quick update

Tired, so details later, but we had a blast at the Blogmeet.  It was a good turnout, and I have shooty venues lined up in the next little while.  The take away is that we need to do this regularly.

Also, I now have .303 Brit dies on order.  Have to get bullets, primer and propellent now.

Tip for you bullets for both 7.62 russians work as they are 310/311 the 139grns makes a good short range plinking round out to 300 yds.

Hopefully you'll have some ammo for the blog shoot. I'm stocking up on 12ga, slug and buck.

Had a blast as well. Looking forward to any blog shoots. :)

Note that primers and powder involve hazmat fees when shipped, so take that into account in pricing. There is a discussion in the Handloading Yahoo-group about vendors that combine primers and powder to reduce the fee impact.

Which is why many ppl's pick a powder that burns in multiple calibers - one big jug ordered in bulk once a year is cheaper than six little jugs.


Of course if you are working up a load you might want to pick up several smaller jugs at the local gun store so as to have a nice variety without haz-mat fees.
