2020 Creedmoor Cup Lodi

[Distant Thunder]

J.B.,

I should have done a few things different, but as usual once I get focused on an idea I can often lose sight of what I'm trying to accomplish. Why I thought testing the exact same load 6 times was going to tell me much I can not even figure out!

I need more .44 caliber paper patch molds and more powders for testing. This is going to take a lot of casting, loading and shooting. It's a good thing I'm retired and have the time to devote to this very important work!

My wife wonders when I have a rifle like my Hepburn that shoots so well and wins a bunch of matches for me why do I have to take on a rifle that I have to work so hard with and start all over from square one? She just doesn't understand that is the journey I'm after and enjoy most of all. It not about being there, it's about getting there!
