There were a few (3) hits below that would have ruined such a beautiful picture,
but I noted their lower speed on the chronograph (which is always online and prompts by voice) by 10-15ms.(32-50 fps)Therefore, I allowed myself to conditionally not take them into account here. (since the brass after resizing did not sort by neck tension).
And there were two misses on the gong during the DSF calibration in Kestrel.
So far I see that for this bullet under these conditions there is no need to calibrate DSF or calibrate velocity.
Apparently the G7 coefficient indicated by Hornady is averaged and coincides with the transonic range.
That is why the groups in the gong are a little higher, because it was during today's shooting that I realized that the calibration for the 208ELDM was unnecessary. We will see for other bullets later.

A little strange because for the 225 ELDM bullet there was such a need last season for a predicted headshot of a metal gong at 300m(328yd)

149m(162yd) calibration distance, the same bullet(it was before)

There was another test.
A comrade sold a bunch of LC fire formed brass, enough for my needs.
He selected by the top of SAAMI tolerances, for which he is grateful.
The same bullet was shot (all other parameters are the same), except for the case for comparison combustion, although one group is on the target in the middle below, the other is in the gong in the photo above.

My old S&B cartridges have a mileage of 6+ times, ES 13m/s(42fps) versus ES 26m/s(85 fps) in perfectly polished LCs. due to the carbon on the inner surface of the neck, which works as a lubricant. (this time it was without graphite, all cartridges)
LC annealed on AMP annealer/ S&B flame annealing
LC stainless steel wet tumble/S&B dry tumble corn cob
I wanted to make sure if it was worth ordering cartridges from this guy and compare his process with mine.
Overall, it was what I expected and I am satisfied with the purchase
The only thing is, its brass requires the neck to be lubricated with graphite for the first time. Since the ES /SD is twice as high as on my old ones.
In general, the group is better at gong than at 100m. Which is not an anomaly if you read enough of Brian Litz before bed.

I had a hen drop dead. She just went to the light and didn’t look back.

I went out Friday around noon, I was home for lunch, and got the eggs. She was a little broody at times, she was sitting in the nest box on 3 eggs so I reached under her to get them.

She seemed fine, I rubbed her and went on my way.

About 9pm I went out to close the coop and noticed she wasn’t on the perch with the others, not super unusual she stays in the house at night sometimes.

I opened the roof and could see she was in the nesting box still. I was talking to her, asking if she wanted me to put her with the others…then I touched her and felt that her neck and head was hanging out of the box and she was cold.

She looked like she just laid down and went to sleep. She had already laid her egg so not stuck. She had no problems breathing or no other symptoms I noticed. She just died.

I don’t know how old she was as I got her as an adult. She was a Sussex cross so should be relatively long lived

I cleaned out the coop. New pine shavings everywhere and diatomaceous earth sprinkled out. I ordered the highest rated all natural wormer/antiparasitic on Amazon. Put some DE in their pellets and mixed well to coat it all.

First one ever that died of natural causes. Most end up eventually murdered by a hawk or something. As a very methodical and slightly OCD man I want to cover the bases.

New rooster is working out well. He is super attentive and isn’t hard on the hens. As a bantam he can’t really hurt them anyway. He watches the sky diligently and constantly “talks” with little purrs and clucks. He is a cochin and I think I want another one. My sister has several and multiple cochin roosters seem to be able to get along. More eyes on the skies is good.

Zeus, my rooster
