Wait...I said what, now?
This may not be of interest to anyone, but just in case someone needs a custom cover for something:
I have wanted a dust cover for my vintage electronic RCBS powder scale since.... 1997 ish? I could never find one that fit as it's a small odd size, and RCBS never made one that I knew of. If they did, then they sure don't now as that scale is long since retired, although it still works great for me.
I finally found a vendor on Amazon in China that will do custom covers up to 160" x 160" x 160". For my small cover, their cost was reasonable, their fabrication and shipping was surprisingly fast (delivery from order in 10 days), and the shipping cost was not bad at all. So I finally have a cover for my RCBS electronic scale, custom fit.
The Peters sign is 11" x 8" for scale;
There are ties to keep it snug on the bottom, and the fabrication is decent. For a CUSTOM cover, I can't complain. The custom size I ordered was indeed what I got, right to the inch.
If anyone needs a custom cover for something big, medium or small, here is the LINK AT AMAZON

Wow, what a "clean" and neat bench ...
But you know what they say about a "clean bench"?
Glad 10/22 Collector #3 found a great new home ... Will continue to be "Man's best friend" ... along with your labs!
As to "What have you done in the reloading room ...", most recently unboxing of closeout Viridian Serac 6-24x50 scopes (BTW, great deal at $95 for 30mm tube scope with locking external turrets - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...z-tax-refund-sale.929399/page-4#post-12880309

Someone told me that H335 wasn't a good choice for heavier 223 rounds. Let's see...
Everglades 68gr HPBT, weight sorted and trimmed FC brass - previously fired in this rifle and neck-sized only, S&B SRP. I throw 23 grains of H335 and trickle up to desired step.
Took my Savage M10 out yesterday with 4 loads. 5 shots each load; one shot per load, then rotate through.
100 yards, benched. The wind was really messing with me.
I think the 24.0 grain load wants some more investigation. 3 in one hole, then the wind got me.
I'll reshoot the 24.0, and try 23.7 and 24.2

I would have told you the same thing... but I've been wrong before. Only once, though.
Let us know how they fly!

Vertical dispersion on the 23.5 load appears like it could be deserving of a 2nd look also…..IMO…..

The longer I looked at the target, the more I was thinking the same thing.Vertical dispersion on the 23.5 load appears like it could be deserving of a 2nd look also…..IMO…..
I can do 23.5, 23.7, 24.0, 24.2

I tend to have the same reaction when a bunch of exspurts tell me something I know is doable can’t be done.
I have a different reaction when the same crowd tells me something I have already done - with good success - can’t be done.

Over here walking the line of never done before, shouldn't do that, and can't do that.I tend to have the same reaction when a bunch of exspurts tell me something I know is doable can’t be done.

I worked on addressing loose rear cap for the Viridian Serac 6-24x50 thread with rubber band - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...z-tax-refund-sale.929399/page-5#post-12882615
I looped the rubber band in half and rolled it towards the eye focus ring as installing the rear cap will roll the rubber band forward
And just like that, rear cap is nice and tight without permanent mod to the scope

Tumbling 38-55 tonight.
Shot 38-55 today with N120 and Accurate 38-250F cast PB bullets.
I'm going to run this ladder again and if 19.6gr prints the same way I'll call that good.

This guy, it's done up a bit with different sights and adornments these days compared to this picture since this was from when I first got it.

But I so much want to shoot 1-hole groups at 100. I see others doing it, I've never done it in my life.
And the window is getting narrower as we speak....

Run one of the accuracy 6mm and it's not near as hard. My best group was 1.001 inches for years and I sat behind my dad 6mmbr and shot five groups in a row in the .3s. The barel was a shilen match select with 107 smks, with 30.0 varget in lapua brass.But I so much want to shoot 1-hole groups at 100. I see others doing it, I've never done it in my life.
