Hey Ken, Where ya been? Haven't heard from you.Yeah the new range is great. It's costing me about 25 a month but using it twice a day so far I am way ahead of paying as I go at 20/hr. Nice people running the place which is unusual as I have had bad people handling me at some ranges, They seem to forget we are all carrying guns. BTW I was looking at a Colt Delta Elite 10mm. It's at 1190 brand new. Does anyone know if this is a fair price??  Craig

From what I can tell, that?s not a bad price, my local shop wants 12 something for them. Have always liked the Delta Elite, but not sure on the chamber support, unless I?m thinking about something different.
Later man!

Well I couldn't make a deal today and may just have to buy the gun outright. My guns are worth too much to just give away as a trade in. I am there everyday so I can just buy it anytime I get in the mood.  Craig

I did something very interesting and FUN. This range has a target controller that has programs built it that mimics a person moving so you shoot when the target is facing you and not when it is facing away from you and it changes distances so you shoot a couple rounds then the targets moves gets to a different position and you shoot again. I did OK but will do it some more as it's fun and no extra charge. Craig

Anyone who knows me knows I have had problems getting and keeping plastic boxes for reloads. I just counted and have 20 9mm empty boxes. Ah I guess I have been doing a lot of shooting lately at the new range. It has been open 1 month. Ah I may need to load for like 2 days to replenish my stock. Craig

BTW 20 x 100 is like 2000 but not all boxes were full. I would think more like 1900 rounds.

Just remembered I shot a lot of 41AE 303 Enfield, 380 and probably some others.

OK got 200 9mm deprimered and wet tumbled. I may size and flare and may finish tonight. Shot 38sp today in a S&W air weight.  What a handful to shoot, kicked like no gun I have ever shot. Oh well !!!  Craig

OK got 100 9mm done and 45 41AE also done. I am out of Power Pistol and have enough Titegroup to do like 50 9mm if I am lucky. I have a few 41AE left over empties to do either 210g or 170g something to test. I would like to use 300MP powder as I have it. Coming up with data will be an interesting. Can use 40 cal data but what ever. Craig

I have loaded 12 41AE with 170g bullet and 16.0g 300mp with the max at 17.5. Sound OK??? Oh this is 357 mag data.  Craig

This round worked OK but 16g doesn't fit in the case well and it was compressed a lot. I will try 15 to see if it fits and shoots!!  Craig

Won?t having the case that full increase possible pressure issues? Have a safe and Blessed Christmas Craig : )

Well that's why I lowered the charge from 18 max to 16 and it shot great but I will try 15 to see if it fits better. Craig
