Bullseye

I recently discovered a very simple aid to Dueling Fire. My scores took an immediate jump of 5-6 points and, even better, I started enjoying it.

Here are some tips and a summary of some key parts of that written process, many of which apply to the Dillon 650, and some tips that may apply to any reloading effort regardless of brand.

In no particular order, here they are.

But neither of these is how it started.

I fired 120 rounds late today in the wad gun and had no light strikes.

I think I’ve got it!

Or rather I should say that I think Don Plante figured it out.

Here’s an aid to target shooting terminology:

• Pasters reduce visual distractions.
• Pasties do the opposite.

On-hand, I had five categories: brand new Starline, once-fired Remington, two flavors of “a few firings” (Winchester and Starline), and my practice brass that’s been fired and reloaded a dozen or so times.

Today - er, make that Sunday last - was “test magazines” day.

John Z pointed out his little guy (gal?) today in one of the owl-accessible storage sheds at the range. He is about 9" tall when puffed up. The only route in to the shed without a key is airborne so the spot is reasonably safe from ground-based predators.
