Just finished casting, lubing and loading 200 cartridges for the upcoming large bore scope silhouette matches at the NRA Whittington Center near Raton. I've mentioned before that I enjoy reloading almost as much as shooting but 200 is pushing the enjoyment envelope. All told it's near a full days work. Of course I did not do it all on the same day.

Re: Loading for Raton
Almost there, 2x. I have my cartridges loaded, and have all the match ammo for my grandson's rifle loaded, but we will finish loading his practice ammo today or tomorrow.

Re: Loading for Raton
It was 108 degrees today in the Austin Area. Boy, I can't wait to get to Raton with forecasted temps in the upper 70's & lower 80's.

Beware, the weather has not been living up to forecasts.

And a bit of wetness, as well.
400+ rounds for both scope & irons. Hope we get that practice day (supposed to rain) tomorrow.

Re: Loading for Raton
I'm way past the loading stage and have progressed to the unloading stage. Been in Raton since Sunday.

Re: Loading for Raton
And, thanks to Woody I have a new-to-me 45-70 High Wall, enough lead & tin to add to what I've got to get me through next season and a Garrard 401 plinth. Can't beat that. Did some practice unloading at the big-bore range. 6min of windage on the rams.
Plus, someone told me Woody shot quite well in the big-bore lever-gun match. 1st place was it? Good shooting.
