I loaded up thirty rounds of 30-06 for Africa this morning.

I managed to find two boxes of Federal gold medal primers way out in Vancouver. They sure bent me over for those. Two days ago in Superior, Wisconsin I picked up two pounds of Accurate 4350, one pound of Winchester AA Super (shotgun powder), RCBS dies (30-06), and two 25 lb bags of shot. Total was $318 US funds. After paying for gas to drive 4 hrs one way and back, exchange rate (30%), and duty (13%), my bank account needed a rape kit.

I do. But my wife shops and buys those. I tend to the cows, property, fishing, gear, etc. When my wife replaced my kuerig with a Nespresso… I was like..

high wore off and I like the Nespresso now.

I'm surprised you were allowed over the border with that!

I don't even bring my fillet knife when i cross over for salmon fishing!

I looked into bringing back primers since i was heading up to Toronto.
Still haven't heard back from our ATF on that. It's been almost a year.

I hope it wasn’t anything along the lines from the “male order sausage thread”.
I would have sent you some freebies to save you from that.

I am US citizen and Canadian permanent resident. I fall into catch 22 on both sides.

I don’t know if I’m splitting hairs or not at this point but thought about messing with seating depth a bit. These felt like they were right against the lands, bolt a little stiff to close. I’ve heard Barnes likes a bit of jump so why not. Certainly good enough at this point already.

Per Barnes, start about 0.050" off the lands.

Lucky you!!
I've been waiting over a year to get approval for an interview for a NEXUS pass.
Wife got hers within a month.

Sooo this is exactly why I gave up reloading several years ago. I've got a sub-MOA load there. But I just spent an hour last night messing with seating depth, OACL varying by .05 of an inch. Only to be up this morning reading about how jumps as small as .003 of an inch will impact accuracy.

If I didn't just save over $100 on those two boxes of shells I'd probably be throwing in the towel again.

I thought the site says 0.050 is the max and to start about 0.030?
