I'm non violent, so I'll take the consequences, but I'll keep following sensible rules.
Face cover when I meet people, otherwise I'll walk without. I respect the fear of others and also am convinced that a face cover is really helpful. But not always and in any situation.
If I go to the city, then I'll keep it on on busy central streets. But as soon as I'll see the street empty...away with it. Under the chin or hanging from an ear, but not suffocating me further.
I have always been someone who follows the rules and pays for the others who don't.
At this age I'm starting to not like it anymore.
I gave enough under that point of view. I don't need to be educated by anybody.
Apart from that, Thursday I made a quantum leap in my reloading.
Since I'm shooting quite a lot lately, and also a lot of handgun shooting at that, I was getting fed up with the manual dosing of the powder using my Lee dippers. Soo much time...
So I went to my local gun shop and bought a wonderful Lee Perfect Powder Measure. The cheapest dosing system on the planet.
AND IT JUST WORKS GREAT!!!
I loaded 50 9x21 and 50 44M for target shooting in the same time I would have needed to just dose the powder in either of the 50 pieces.
That is including the adjustment and the checking of every fifth load at the beginning of both calibers.
What a wonderful improvement.
I'm not yet convinced that I want to use that thing for rifle loads. I like to be extremely accurate with them. I even check each and every round for length...
But for those small loads it has definitely convinced me.
I'm already making a small chart noting the powder and the depth the small measuring plunger sits at for each load I use, just to cut on set-up time next time I'll get back to reload one of the already tested calibers.
Tonight I'll make another 50 9x21 and adjust the powder measure using that data. That should bring me very close to the desired load, if not directly there.
I already see my friends making jokes over me for buying a Pro 1000 some day... The guy who used only the manual loading systems from Lee...Hammer and dippers....and manual scale.
They told me that the powder measure equals to me going from handwriting to a mechanical typing machine, while the world is already at the dictation software. But that gives them hope to win me into modernisation.![]()
