In the box were several boxes of .308 Win. reloads which I happily ran off to the range with. Thank G-d for Bill Ruger and his blesses #1 Single Shot falling block rifle. I fired one round which felt and sounded like a .300 Win. Mag. After cleaning myself up in the little boy's room, I went home an pulled several bullets. The cases were all filled to the base of the bullets with a flake powder with lots of little blue flakes in it, the loads weighed an average of 35 grains. Yup, it was Blue Dot.<br /><br />I pulled the remainder of the hundred and twenty or so rounds, using the powder for rose fertilizer. We had the loveliest roses that summer. I havn't fired handloads other than my own since. The laundry bill would be too high.<br /><br />Gerry N.Gerry N.noreply@blogger.com
