Good shooting!

Very good shooting. Whatever you're doing, keep doing it.

Those targets must be working for you very, very well despite all the advice you got to change to something else in that other post of yours.

I will get the new targets. I like these because I can see my impact points through my scope.

Very nice shooting!!! That's fantastic.

I appreciate everyone having my back. This isn't the competition forum. It's the reloading forum. I just wanted to share my enthusiasm with people. I think people need to relax on others. Like the old adage, "If you don't have anything nice to say. Don't say anything."

Just my opinion.

And if anyone has any questions on what I upgraded to or my load development I always want to share. That's what this place is all about.

You are correct about the splatter targets. But I didn't notice him saying this was a competition target. Doesn't look like he was trying to measure to the .000005. So quite being an ass and let the man enjoy his shooting.

Give us a review of the Hornady pro-charge powder scale after you use it a while. It is always good to hear a first hand review of a product.

I did 100 rounds two days ago and 100 rounds last night. I had 2 over-charges, which is amazing in my opinion.

It is fast, accurate, and quiet. I checked 25 rounds on my precision scale just to check for consistency and it was 39.4 grains exactly each time. I'm very happy with its performance.
