So yesterday I had a couple of spare hours on hand and decided to make some test loads for .45 ACP
Historically I had been shooting .45 ACP with 185 gr Hornady XTP over bullseye. I have a box of Ranier 200gr and a box of Hornady 230 gr XTP I wanted to make some test loads with to compare how heavier bullets shoot in terms of accuracy as well as recoil impulse.
I determined I would make 50 rounds of the 200gr Ranier with 3 different powder charges of Bullseye and then 50 rounds of the 230 gr Hornady XTP with 3 different powder charges of unique since there was no bullseye load in the hornady manual. I got all my brass prepped and meticulously dropped the 50 charges for the 200 gr Ranier when I realized after dropping the last charge that I never put primers in the cases! Dammit dump the 50 charges back in and start all over again! Im so damn stupid sometimes!!!!! Hey at least I caught it before I started seating bullets
