| I don't know ?? Mike Skeetx , is it time to shoot yet !!?? Didn't know there was a time NOT too ! What you'll have to watch out for is that once you settle on your load , get the reloader ourring and start burning powder is that you'll find yourself worrying about running low again !! Haven't been able to hit crap lately EXCEPT for my 48cutts gun and my 410 pump of all things !(ATTN DALE !) . Woodie got me a bag of DR's , and HERE WE GO ! ( I think Nick is partial to the Teal slant - GO DOLPHINS !) |

Yes,
It is time to shoot, up at 05:30 this morning off to Bible Study, then to the gym, then to local restaurant, then skeet/trap range and shot from 09:30 to 12:15, then Burger King, now home and will reloads some 
Retirement is GREAT
CableguyJJS3 you are most welcome and I really enjoyed your first posting

| Man I didn't realize it was my first post until I saw you said something. I've been a member here for awhile and I thought for sure I'd chimed in on some of the SxS discussions, guess I just imagined it. But with 5000 of these things on my bench I don't see running low anytime soon. Though I do have a load I currently run in all my doubles, and one that works well, I'm expecting it to work very well when I sub out the SG-16 wad for this DR-16. I've been lucky down here, Green Dot is pretty easy to come by and I have a couple of 8 pounders stashed away. Looking forward to this weekend to take these for a test drive!! |

| those wads are not interchangeable. at the very least there will be volume issues. |

| Sorry, didn't mean to make it sound like they were interchangeable. I am a member of the yahoo group and on the spreadsheets, I picked out a good GD load with the SG-16, the DR-16 load is essentially the same. I call it the same, though I know it's not. I need to make a few tweaks to the machine I'm sure, plus last time I loaded I had some crimping issues...all part of the fun and learning process. |

| patience prevails !! just got the invoice from Gamaleil's posted that they are on the way . It would be good to know what the pattern is that they manufacture at to get a feel of what is out there after the preorders are filled . Thanx Kevin and Nick ! |
