Well, I suppose it happens to all of us sooner or later. Just glad I am not the first one in the world this has happened to.
I finally, got my new MIHEC mold fired up a few weeks ago, and cast some really fine .380 ACP boolits from ACWW. Really nice mould that is, and makes the nicest looking boolits, and they just fell from the mould. That is the one with the hollow points (Cramer type).
They've been working me half to death as of late, and with everything else, casting, loading, and shooting is something I feel very lucky to get time to do. Lucky to have my job in my business as well, so....anyway. Finally got some rounds made up, with these fine boolits. They were dropping about 93 grains very consistent. Bases on them very nice. Those brass moulds are really great. Put them over 3.0 grains W231 to try 'em out.
Of course I had to take my chronograph out, to see what was what. First fired some older rounds, from my Kel-Tec P3AT, with 105 grain Lee SWC sized down to .356. Then, those very fine looking rounds were next. 7 shots without a hitch, and getting good readings. Too bad I can't remember what I was getting now, as the 8th shot hit the "delete chronograph" button on the front.
Shock. Good grief. This only happens to others. But that Kel-Tec has that trigger, that I SQUEEZE and SQUEEZE right to the break point. Had it tilted down just a degree or so when the thing let loose with the shot.
So, here for your amusement....much to my chagrin. The beauty rounds, the recovered boolit from the innards on the chronograph, and the once proud face plate that has that final "delete chronograph" button pushed.
