I have my shotgun shells pretty much under control. I'm doing rifle now and working on load development for a 38-55, 375, and 6.5-55. The shells are loaded but the weather isn't cooperating to test them

Trying to decide whether to switch up my MEC 600 from 2 1/2" to 2 3/4". Have a bag of 3-400 black RGL's , and scored 2 bags of DR16 wads this week, thanks to Kenny. And plenty of 20/28 powder for light 16 ga 7/8 oz loads. I love loading RST and other cheddite hulls , and get great crimps. Switching over will mean a lot of crimp adjustments--but hey, what else is there to do under the current situation. I could load up more 3/4 oz loads with the DR16 wad in the short shells, but I have settled on 7/8 oz being my preferred load, and the DR16 does not work well in 2 1/2" hulls with 7/8 oz. Use SG16 for that.
Hang I there everybody--I fear the situation will get much worse before it gets better.
