    We'll find out soon...still waiting on the wife to get home. I made 2 different batches to try. One good thing about the blue dot is you can't double load it, because there isn't enough room for a double load :D

    oh and i was think about what was the best way to hold it away from myself.

    ok all my fingers are still here. They all went bang. I couldn't tell the difference in the two loads i made. They where only .5 grain different.

    I had bought a cheap(er) bolt .223 rifle to test my reloads out of, instead of buggering up an expensive AR. I remember the nervousness of firing off the first one! Went though the same jitters with my first shotshell reloads a little while back, brought along an old beater 870 to test a handful in before firing them out of the more 'spensive ones.

    I had the same jitters when I shot my first reloads today out of my HK USPc :eek3::eek3:
