They finally arrived. I don't know what FedEx's problem was. You know, the weather. And, you know, the virus and all.
I've never ordered from Outdoor Limited before, but I'm impressed. 3 sleeves and all the same lot! Almost as good as when I ordered 2 boxes of 500 of 140 gr RDFs from Arm or Allied a while back and they were sure to note on the packing slip that they were the same lot. A little different from Larry, who sent me 4 boxes of 100 from 3 different lots when I got some TMKs last summer.
I might get started on these right away. My jug of Varget has 2 matches with the 95 gr TMKs left in it when combined with left over rounds. Was going to then switch over to my nickel Starline brass with the new jug and tweak for the new powder lot and brass - got a bunch of it fireformed and ready to go. I'll probably start with these instead after some of the mystery happenings with the TMKs past 600 yards. At 100 fps slower, they'd give me the same range and wind drift, albeit with more drop. The smaller Danger Zone might be an issue in a match where speed is essential and I usually round my holds to quarter mils and either hold on a half mil hash or frame the target between hashes for a 1/4, but the extra 10 grains makes it feel more substantial.
I just need my new MagnetoSpeed display unit to show up (don't drop yours too many times - I may wrap my new one in bubble wrap) They sent me an email this morning which I figured was a tracking number, only to open and read "We"re working on your order!" They've been working in it for 6 hours now - what does it take to take a box off a shelf, put it in a bigger box, tape it up and slap a label on?
