    cleaned the barrel on my new 6mm Dasher. After the first 12 rounds it had a little copper in it. This time I couldn't find any...that might be promising.

    Loaded another 100 9mm for the next rage day

    Spent a lot of time price checking online.

    Fiddled with my hornady case trimmer - I think I need a special type of shell holder for it. My Lee shell holders don't seem to fit... Or Im just daft.

    Twisted up a few Dasher ladders with 8208XBR. I got a small amount of vertical stringing last trip out so I thought I would add more go juice.

    Trimmed enough .260 cases to get my H4350 ladders up and running

    Since 8208XBR is in the ChargeMaster I may load up 50-100 69gr SMKs for the DMR before I empty it and load the H4350. Maybe I can get all that done tomorrow after work.

    Got this many .223s done before heading out for the day
    23gr of 8208XBR under 69gr SMK with Wolf SRM primers
    Powder was already on the ChargeMaster from the Dasher. We will see how they shoot.

    Bought 2 extra 17 round mags for my P320 (so now I'll have 5 when this order comes in) and a box of 50 rounds of Sig v-crown 124gr hollow points
    The cost of new P320 mags versus ample used Glock mag prices is one of several reasons why I sold my P320. I can't wait for surplus Sig mags to hit the market like the M9 mags did!

    Yeah, I'm slowly becoming a Sig fanboy (I have a P320 and a P365XL, and I'm hoping to get a P226 at some point in the near future), but I hate how expensive Sig mags are lol.

    Yep can buy 3 or 4 Glock mags for the price of one Sig mag, and have mag compatibility across 9mm carbines and 9mm AR pistols. It was a no brainer. This last comment about the carbines mag compatibility is why I got away from M9's. And I loved them. I had an extremely hard time finding M9 mag carbines locally, though. Does anybody make a Sig mag carbine? I've heard that Keltec offers a "universal" Sub2000 now, using magazine well adapter plates

    According to a quick Google search, CMMG makes a P320 mag carbine. I honestly haven't ever really felt the need to have a carbine that takes the same mags as my pistol since I got a CZ Scorpion and it's been fine for me. I won't deny that mag compatibility is a neat feature, because it is, it's just something that I haven't felt the need to go for, if that makes sense.

    bumped up my Dasher load by .2gr. Ended up with an ES of 12 and an SD of 4.45 for the 5 shot group think I will hold there for a minute.

    The .22-250 can come down just a touch from 36.8 with the new Lapua brass is just a shade hot IMO the ES was 35 and the SD was 12.5 but it groups good...might play with seating depth after 1 more ladder...with the exception of the CCB shot they all fit under a dime.

    The rest of those holes are from the .243 ladder with 80grTTSX and Ramshot Hunter...as you can see...nothing to report..powder too hot it scatters them good and has strong pressure signs...and still 1.0 under max load...might try that Fairy Dust a little lighter or move on to H100V.

    6.5WSM 7828SC too hot still ...H1000 100fps slower and no group...I think I am going to ditch the 142gr ABLR

    I found out that an old school duty belt's black leather 38 Spl cartridge wallet will in fact comfortably hold, snap closed and deliver my Keltec P3AT mags :) How cool is that?! It will look good with my black leather Harley PPE

    twisted a few more of these up for the Dasher this morning... hopefully I will get something close to the ES & SD I got the other day...might run out to 300 yds to see what those groups look like if it is as good as it was.
