    Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Th 250g scenars it is then... Still got to figure out powder, but rl25 is readily available around Austin. I'd like to find some vv165, but I don't think it's worth paying the hazmat fee to order it on-line. And they've also got the Hodgdon...

    Favorite Reloading Tool???

    Re: Favorite Reloading Tool??? funnel...hadn't thought of that, but I got the quick change 6" drop funnel. It's very nice for what it does. Kind of like my mtm loading tray. Very simple, but very good.

    Favorite Reloading Tool???

    Finished my first round of reloading today...and I've gotta say the RCBS 1500 ChargeMaster combo is AMAZING! Just couldn't stop thinking how effective it is at what it's for. Plug in the numbers for your reload, press a button, and it just keeps going with the loads. Take one load off, put...
