Wow! Love that walnut.
 
Went out and sighted in the walnutter today. Since it's no longer unfired I plan to use only those powders with copper fouling reducers added. Pretty easy cleanup using just patches with rubbing alcohol. Did do some accelerator/wipeout cleaning when I got home. Not much copper. Quality Cartridge 6.5-06 cases fire formed to the AI pretty nice. 54 grains of Reloder 23 and a Sierra 140 grain MatchKing was one load and had some leftovers of 57 grains of IMR7977 and Barnes 127 LRX. The loads with Reloder 23 were a bit hotter just from looking at the primers.
