Mike,
thanks for posting this and putting in the effort!
Question for you: Why does everyone on 16ga.com seem to use Tom Armbrust for their testing? What are his rates? On other sites I go to, folks all seem to use Precision Reloading. I've found a phone # for him, and called and left message, but have been unable to find a website for him that lists any pressure testing info, just an old page of articles he's written.
Thanks! |

Tom is very well thought of, charges 5.00 a shell. I think he requires a five shell group for averaging.
This link may answer your question about not getting hold of him, but at the very least give you up to date contact info:

Dave . I used Precision for the super Mag for no great reason other than I believe Tom only tests during warm weather . Tom is 5 bucks , min 5 and precision is 50 bucks whether 5 or 10 so might as well send 10 . Both are very happy to do the work and get the results out !! |
