Default Testing Reloads

Good morning. I would like to have a few reloads tested. A helpful member suggested that I contact Tom Armbrust at 815 385 0037. Unfortunately that number has been disconnected. Is Tom still testing shells? Does anyone have a new number for him? Any help is appreciated.

I’ve also used Precision Reloading a number of times and they are great to work with. They are generally quick to test and are more than will to discuss the results if you have questions.

Send them to me for a thorough evaluation. Seriously, Precision is very good.

Thanks friends. I have loaded 15 shells. 5 samples each, of 3 different recipes. The only difference is the amount of powder. I weighed a few sample “drops” of powder to verify the powder charge. I also noticed that, according to my scale, the powder charge is slightly less than the MEC chart predicts. As I ran the 5 samples, I numbered each one. I figured that I do not want to test the first shell after changing dies. Hopefully I’ll get the chance to ship them to a lab before leaving for the Southern. ��
