Only thing I shot yesterday was a nail gun, and not for groups! Jason, I put together a tote that holds my sandbags- it stays on my truck 365.

I shot up thousands of handloads in the '70s and '80s that my grandfather made in the '50s&60s. Most of them fired without issue, though the light loaded .45 ACPs taught me how to clear a jammed 1911 very quickly.
