One of those days

Post by skipper »

Here's what happens when you engage your body before putting your brain in gear. That, my friends is the drain on my RCBS Chargemaster 1500 which, by the way, was left opened. I just wanted to say, I didn't do it. Some fairy snuck into my garage in the middle of the night and opened it. Yeah, SURE!!! Have a nice day.

When I noticed it, powder was coming out faster than I was pouring it in.

Look at the bright side......the powder landed on a clean, flat surface, and NOT on a shag rug! :eek:

They say that all's well that ends well. My day didn't start very well but it sure ended well. I've been reloading all day long. Two boxes of 9mm, 25 competition 204 rounds for Wednesday, and three boxes of shotgun shells.

I even got to go pick up this duck I shot last season. He's a Mottled duck. I love the mount the taxidermist did for this one.
