first 47 308

HELLO ALL!

Join in my noob excitement as I show you the fruits of my labor.

This weekend after hand measuring out my accurate arms 2520 powder (36 gn per sierra 5th edition load manual) behind 173 grain fmjbt round, I produced my first 47 rounds of 308! *I had 50, but the first three had busted shoulders as I was adjusting the seating die*
