[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 97693, member: 2011"] RE: Thermocouple. Have a craftsman DMV #82018 that came w/thermocouple. Who knows where that thing went. Farmers don't have much call for such a thing and that's where I got it. However the same looking Sears DVM, now Model 82400 is priced at 29 bucks and is packages w/thermocouple. Hmmmmmm, Sears is 30 miles away......... Am all set up for next test. Loaded 6 "check" cartridges w/Hornady 225 Interlocks and RL-15 powder. I All 6 cases are w/in a grain of 237.5 grains. Put in 62 grains of RL-15 cause that's what Alliant's book said. Prep'd 6 "test" caseseach weighing w/in 1 gr of 234.5 gr. The "test" cases have less volume. I increased the powder charge by 1.3 grains in hopes of attaining the same velocity as the lesser powder charge. RL-15, volume wise, looks like it will work well. There is maybe 3 grains more volume than I am using. I don't think that case capacity is going to be a problem with this powder. As my luck would have it, its snowing too hard for testing to be any fun and the chrono goes nuts in the snow.. So I guess I'll have to wait till Monday.
