Happy New Year!

May 2015 be full of happiness, fulfillment, contentment and freedom.

And just maybe, some gunsmoke. ;^)'

Thanks and happy new year to you guys too!

Thank you guys. And the same sensibility to each of you here.

I'm hoping to lose some weight and get my diabetes under some better control.

Hope there's a Nighthawk somewhere in my future this year.

To kick off the new year, I cast about 50 lbs of bullets and then powder coated them. I'd shot my GP100 match so much in the past month that I ran out of my powder coated loads. Had to replenish. I figured instead of being lazy and stuff with the day off I would spend half the day casting and the rest playing games with my kids. A good first day of 2015!

My New Year Resolution:

SHOOT MORE! Cowboy, rifle, handgun, centerfire, rimfire -- whatevah. I recently participated in a intrawebz shooting competition, and frankly, Scarlett, I embarrassed myself. This house/ move focus has put paid to my already meager shooting skills.

One of my resolutions is to dial in some specific loads. I have several general purpose loads that I like and use, but I want to get some loads dialed in to the respective rifles.

?You going to fire form the brass for those rifles too.

Not yet, mostly just find out what works best in each rifle load-wise.

?So you're still full-length resizing each case so it works across your whole set.

Yeah, that's what I have been doing... In the past, I wanted all my .308 loads to be able to function in all of my various .308 rifles. Some of them being semi autos, they require a full length resize in order to feed/chamber properly. Also, the ability to toss a few rounds to a buddy if he runs out has been nice.
