Was a very enjoyable afternoon, had a great time and it was good to put faces to the names.

Thanks Chris, both for the use of your range and your toys. Will definitely be keen to help you burn through some more BP! Let me know what to procure and where from and I'll bring some supplies next time.

Also thanks for the use of the .308, Alex and the Moisin and BSA Indy, definitely 2 different ends of the spectrum there

Sounds like I missed out on a great day out.

The weather was actually rather nice, too.

Yeah, a little on the windy side but beautiful apart from that.

Glad you all enjoyed yourselves.

Was good for me to get out and relax.

Sorry aboutr the brief reloading session.

Easier 1 to 1 but also easier when the sizing die doesent crush the case.

Been loading straight wall cases too long

I really enjoyed talking ballistics with you Jono. Most people find it a bit of a dry topic.

Dont forget nextr month when my mate is over from the UK.

The 19th century will rule the day

Any time, Chris, I had a ball... I've only read a lot of the theory put forward by people, never actually put any of it to much use (no need given that I'm usually using 9mm factory ammo!) but it's an interesting topic nonetheless.

Ken Howell's forum posts on interior ballistics. A lot of reading here, I pretty much just read Ken Howells posts, some very interesting stuff there.

Since I've gotten home I've been looking at shifting my next purchase away from a S&W 686 to a 6.5" S&W 629 (stainless version of the Dirty Harry gun, .44 mag). That combined with a stainless Rossi Puma would be a hell of a combo. How did you work up the BP loads for the lever? If those 2 guns could have BP loads worked up for them as well as smokeless then that would be absolute perfection, but I can't find any info about loading .44 magnum or other 'standard' guns for BP.
