Re: Attending the NRA Annual Meeting in Pittsburgh? (T-Shirts?)

A lot of the walking from the Sheradon to the T or bus stops can be done inside. There is a little shopping mall between the two. You can go in one end, cover a couple of blocks ...

Try 120grs of Blackhorn 209 with those 250gr shockwaves. Mine likes that a lot (except I use the Hornaday 250s which are the same bullet).
Edited to add that the 120gr charge is by volume

Before I started lubing the collet I could actually feel it sticking a bit in the holder. I hope that solves your problem.
