You cannot weigh powder with a six year old in the shed with you..ain't happening

Powder sticks to a new powder funnel

For some reason loading the cases in the loading blocks ends up with most of the powder IN the loading blocks

The digital scale I won from Alex is t*ts...checked every charge with a beam scale, dead on (only loaded 8 rounds to test fire)

All went bang and hit the pine tree stump. Found 3 out of 8 cases..tall scrub and a rabbits nest in the area..in North Florida, where there's rabbits there will generally be timber rattlers.

Dirtiest ammo I ever fired...even worse than those 100 round Federal value packs...but they work. I took a Lee powder scoop that says it scoops 5.2 grains of W231 and patiently ran the top over a diamond file in a Leatherman till it pretty consistently scooped 4.8, which is where I wanted to be..Hodgen online load data called for min 4.3 and max 5.3 with a 230 grain lead bullet..so..I set my test point dead center of the two. Dear Jesus it's slow going, though

Thanks for the help, fellers.
