I was expecting 1400-1450 out of the 125's and 1250-1300 out of the 158's. Not too impressed, but for paper punching they are okay.

Do you go to Elk Neck? I'm about to go there now, just waiting on a friend.
I've shot AP 9mm last year in the white box with 2 or 3 colored strips on it.

Go around 6-8:30 weekdays, no one is ever there at that time. I was just there to shoot the .223, got there at 7, there were too couples on shotgun, no one on rifle, and the same guy who wanders around collecting brass. It was just me and the bolt action for an hour and 15min, 60 rounds. Had a good quite time to focus.

I'm going to try getting there right at opening tomorrow for Chrony work. Usually nobody there for the first hour or two.

Oh, sounds good too, I'm just a night person, might go tomorrow too before I go to the beach for the week, definitely have an itch after my reloads did well. North East seems like a nice town, how it is? I'd move as closer to the shooting range if possible, Elkton seems a bit trashy, been here for a year.
If they ever get it in stock again, I suggest checking this stuff out http://palmettostatearmory.com/index...2gr-fmjtc.html
I think they have free shipping still, I ordered 4 boxes of those for $15, 6 boxes of Independence .38s for $14 (Blazer brass) and some .22s. I'm sending my SP101 for repair because of a rough forcing cone so I have not tried it but I heard (seen reviews) the Fiocchi is hot, accurate and its really cheap. I stocked up a little so when my existing brass is dropping like flies and splitting at a faster rate, ill have some new brass

Yea the Fiocchi 142's are pretty good. I actually just placed an order at the Armory on the free shipping deal for a Mosin tin and some PRVI .44 Mag.
I mainly buy a box here or there just to test (my fun) and the rest of the time shoot American Eagle my Brother gets for me. Their Magnums are loaded pretty darn good!

I remember you had that SW .22 and you were chrono-ing some. You had the log with a decent amount of data? I had the Mark III , maybe the other 2 guns. Im in my early 20s, dark features, there with my friend. I was talking to you about the cost of my reloads and you said your brother gets you all discounted ammo

Ahh yes. I pour as much money as I can afford on the buys and hopes he stays employed there  $20 a box .44 and $12 a box 10mm is pretty sweet! $8 a box 9mm isn't a huge savings though.
