    Gun Case Suggestions

    Well it looks like the boyt wins. Only caveat is that it won't stand upright on its own. I might check the pelican 1750 for that feature or add some bumpers to the bottom of the boyt. Just checked the pelican 1750 specs again. It's nearly 2" less it width leaving it impossible to fit...

    Re: RCBS ChargeMaster 1500 Powder Scale and Dispenser Yeah, but I fixed the Chargemaster!! ahaha. Well After dealing with my issue I would give a definite vote for it still, as long as I can source a permanent fix for it (i'm sure its a static problem) In all reality if the scale is reading...

    Ladder Test

    Hey guys So here is my first set of load development data and I decided to try a ladder test. The test starts at 42 gr and ends at 46 gr (max load) @ 300yrd. During the test I didn't see any signs of excessive pressure and by the looks of things I may have a decent load around the 46.0 gr...
