If anyone cares to see the Area 8 match here is a video of my mediocre performance this past Thursday. Managed to get 212 Alphas, 7 Betas, 48 Charlies, 3 Deltas and unfortunately 5 Mikes. At least no procedurals and no no-shoots. Really did for crap on the first stage I shot (which was stage2), those doors did me in. Had a heck of a time on the next to last stage I shot too, which was stage 14. I'll tell you it was a grueling day. Left the house at about 4:30am and did not get home till 8:30pm.
Yeah I gotta make it back out there this week and see.
Id love to get into reloading but it looks like a lot to take on at the moment. If I buy a set up, I would want something legit so I don't feel the need to upgrade in a year.
Handloading is the only real way you can control the quality of all components used! Still no guarantee but I use only CCI primers and I am certain that the proper amount of a good quality powder is there. Not much else you can do!
