Good day at the range today. A friend of mine, a long time shooter and reloader was shooting his 6mm BR.He shot his fourth shot into a really small group. Upon extraction he noticed that the case was badly swollen. examination of the primer revield that he had just fired a 6mm ppc in his 6mmBR.
Not as bad as throwing a double charge of fast burning powder but an error just the same by an old time safe shooter and loader.
None of us are fool proff. roger

I loaded up some 150 Berger VLDs in my friend's 270 with a 3 groove Lilja on it. Using H4831SC, we're up to 57.5 grains without a hitch. Velocities have been quite impressive ending with a 3 shot string at 2990 with the 24 inch tube. The best group was 56 grains at 2934, 2940, and 2937. I changed the seating depth so we'll see what happens. Glad your buddy is ok.

Only the 4th shot was a ppc, or all 4?

No one is infallible let me assure each and everyone of us of that fact in life .

I haven't had so much as even a beer in the last two months and I've been taking pretty much the same

medication over the last 6 years . I sort and load the pill caddy myself ,so yesterday I inadvertently took a

Dbl dosage of one of my Meds . NEVER done that before . As the saying goes Shit happens ;

Dealing with it is the sign of maturity and as age creeps up it gets UGLIER !.

Sat. Night I'm setting down and cracking a couple of home brewed summer ales or my new Stouts,

as the aging process was completed about a month ago .
