Great job man I know how happy you feel right now. I bet you were doing jumping jacks after you seen how your own made ammo worked out, added onto the comfort of not blowing your own face off cause you did something wrong lol. What were you shooting this out of? did you by any chance have a chronograph with you? curious to know some more details, seating depths etc.

No chrono on this run but next time I will. A good friend of mine is teaching me what he knows and walked me through the whole thing. He checked my headspacing, and my seating depth is set at 2.79. Rifle im uising is an H-S precision HTR 24" barrel with a 1:12 twist.
