XL650 Reloading Log

Brackenridge shooting range

2012-02-12T15:32:00.001-06:00

Kind of like a small shooting range around San Antonio and the counter to pay for shooting is a mini camper, I was scared for my safety and I shot like a bullet a second and he claimed I was shooting 5 bullets every 2 seconds, we got kicked out after my buddy chuck actually rapid fired and then he was looking for any excuse to boot us.

Minor fixes to XL650

2011-10-17T22:20:00.000-05:00

replaced the spent primer cup with a primer drop tube to a bucket below the bench along with a bolt and stainless steel pipe on the bolt to allow the tube to roll and keep it off the completed bullet basket, also a tube over the unused primer tray to stop the loss of primers from flying off the tray
