Finally i cleaned up Delilah and all my weps.. Delilah had that whole Rally car mud-everywhere look. The Rear window was completely covered with mud. Mud spray was up to the windows! wee! it wasn't as bad as the other time but everytime i do this i wonder if i really do need AWD.. heh..
i wonder if i should load up for these 3-gun matches.. It doesn't really require accurate bullets. hmmz it might not be worth it in the rifle aspects. But for pistol it works.. i need a chronometer to figure out my 'power factor' of the bullets i'm producing. i made a box in 1.163", 1.155", 1.150".. they all function on my HK, but haven't tried the 1.150" on the others yet. They all function but lack the power to lock the slide on the last round. I might need to up my powder .1 grain or .2.. i can go two ways about it. Increase the powder or shrink the bullet. It's a function of pressure and length. i have .03" to play with.. 1.12" i think is the 'normal' size of a .40s&w.. gotta look it up on the books.. the 9mm had 120+ years of experiementation.. the .40 only about 10.. i find it funny that i'm part of the experimentation process.. Reloading is a neverending science project.. i think shooting is definatly gonna be a hobby that'll stick with me through the years. All i want is the lowest performing projectile that'll fully function ALL my stock .40 pistols.. Is that a hard thing to ask?
