Some things are starting to show up.
 A friend gave me 200 rounds of 45 Colt reloads yesterday. He did them and they were a little hotter than he was comfortable shooting in his Colt and knew my Rugers would be fine with them. They are nowhere near my deer hunting load.  :o I want to try them in my Marlin carbine.

That's the important thing. That and keeping records of what does and doesn't work. I left too much of that to memory back when working up a load was so cheap and easy.

This is the closest I have to a range, where I am at ::)
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Looks like fun to me! The .45 would probably make a mess of it though.  :o To think that not so many years ago all carnivals and boardwalks had shooting galleries with real 22s. How we've changed, can you even imagine what would happen today? :(

That is so true. I remember, not that long ago, there was a shooting gallery on the boardwalk here, now long gone. There is still a shooting gallery that shoots bb's out of, what looks like a Thompson. Not the same, but it's something.

Yes keeping a record of your load data is important, I've got hundreds of 38 super and 45acp that I've loaded that I don't remember the combination I used.

A lot of my load records are on the targets I used to test them with the intention of putting the information in my notebook. I have quite a stack of targets.  :) There are also notes and loads circled and underlined in old reloading books and magazines. Almost all of this is from before i owned a computer. This would be a good winter project.  8) Maybe winter after next,  ::)

Index cards with the load data printed on it and kept in the box with the ammo. This is what I was thinking

Sometimes I have written the information on the box or on an adhesive label on the box, but I need a more permanent location for when the box gets lost or wears out. It's good the have to information with the ammo but for me it needs to be near the reloading bench too.
