Title: Finally got my gun back
Post by: jarbo03 on March 22, 2012, 11:36:40 PM
My gun finally came back from being camo dipped.  Plan on hitting the pattern board this weekend.  Loaded up 4 1 7/8 oz Heavyweight 15  #7s, starting to get excited.

Bought them from toasty here on the forum.  He bought some in bulk to lower the price.  Still very inexpensive though, it makes me cry when I pattern them, first batch better be good.

That finish looks great!  Are you reloading 3 or 3.5"?

I am loading 3".  Not quite as good as I was expecting in first batch , was a 1 7/8 oz buffered load of HW15#7.  Did come up with a real nice, 1 1/8 oz duplex of HW15 and Pb #6, a light recoil load for my nephew to shoot.
