[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 726906, member: 25383"] I honestly think the secret to loading at the range with accuracey is in keeping it simple. I'll take about a dozen cases of whatever I'm going to shoot, and these cases will be as close to identical as I can make them. That way if I loose a case, I have another similar case. The press issue has never completely satisfied me, and probably never will. Arbor presses don't bump shoulders well, and presses that do bump shoulders well are just too big and heavy to lug around. At one time I had a friend that had the perfect range. It was a 50 thru 400 yard range, complete with a barbeque grill! Could have shot 1000 yards, but that would really be pushing it. In the ground next to a table setup for cleaning rifles was a piece of steel I-beam that had a plate welded to the top of it. He would mount his press on it for load development. Plus he had a vise setup for tweaking his Colt SA's. It also had a roof over it (shooting area). All his backstops were built to be .375 H&H proof (probably 20mm canon proof). I loved shooting there as nobody came around except for Dude and maybe one of his boys. (Plus his wife made one heck of a peach cobbler). He'd always drag out a couple of his many Mod 70's or 43's. We lost him about ten years ago. I have a really nice multi million dollar range to shoot at near me, but there are just too many people. Used to be free, but now we have to pay a fee (I don't mind that as it goes towards the upkeep). Just a little too short for my likening. So we head about thrity miles south to the farm and setup there. I can load at either place, but hate people looking over my shoulder. gary [/QUOTE]
