Gruss Adam, mir geht es gut.

You're exactly right on the money there in keeping records, otherwise after a period of time your memory turns to haze as you try and fit all the pieces of the puzzle back together for that promising load you shot 3 weeks or 3 months ago.

I've found out, well for me anyway, that the one major thing I can change to affect accuracy is the bullet. Once I have a promising bullet, then it's powder charges and primers.

There are those who shoot so they have an excuse to reload. I don't belong to that group. I don't mind reloading, but it is a time consuming hobby. I only reload so I can shoot.

Over the years there have been some great inventions, take for instance the Case Prep Station and the 1500 Combo Powder Measure/Scale. Now those are time savers !!

The biggest time saver I can think of is showing my Wifey how to reload for me, and then just telling her I need another hundred '06 or Hornets. Funny thing is, she didn't want to hear that. Oh, she'll watch me for a few minutes, then say she has 'work' to do . . . well, what does she think I'm doing down there wasting the evening or half a Saturday? Yea, I'll call reloading work.

Halt Dich munter, Waidmannsheil, Dom.
