I've been fooling with loads for the number one MkIII and since I got a friend coming over to shoot in a few days It seemed a good idea to have ammo to shoot . This rifle still tends to like Unique and mild loads regardless of bullets size for the most part .
Worked on a new trick for ammo that will benefit all the rounds I load for . I went and bought a Bench-source annealing machine . I didn't have any Tempilaq for the trial run of the machine so I tried to keep the time in the fire very brief . With two torches running it doesn't take much and color change didn't go very far below the shoulder . I'm sure this will beat doing seven hundred cases (or more ) using the old twirl in the fingers method I was using .
I'm still thinking I'd like to load my cast bullet rifle ammo on the Dillon . I do need to see if they offer a powder through expander which would make things a bunch easier . I got visions of ammo cans full of cast loads dancing in my head :mrgreen:
