Who has won??

Why just last week, HOFer OCock shot a possible new record agg and group with powder he threw from his "one arm bandit".

Yea... I too suspect Mr. Ocock was REAL successful read's dem flags!
I like you still feel a good measure technique with no worse than + - .2 load dispersion AND solid windflag strategy will result in VICTORY.... Damn fine bullets and barrel do HELP..!

Wow! And I thought I hauled a lot of crap to the matches!!!

That makes sense to have different loads in the vials but, my goodness, I couldn't deal with that much extra stuff. I think I'd rather go back to hauling the CHargemaster around again then haul around 2000 vials! Not to mention having to sit down and charge 2000 vials for one weekend! You'd have to start in the winter to have it done by mid-summer! Then what happens if you want to shoot TWO matches?

All kidding aside, I guess to each his own. But remember this, most of the Hall of Fame shooters got there by throwing powder from a measure. IF it didn't work, they wouldn't be there. Why just last week, HOFer OCock shot a possible new record agg and group with powder he threw from his "one arm bandit".

Here is a photo of SW Region shooter Larence Weisdorn's loading area at the Cactus a couple of years ago. The MTM cases are filled with test tubes and pre-weighed powder.

Here is a photo of Gary Ocock's typical match reloading set-up.

Interesting comparisons and contrasts. To each his own.

Gary makes it look so simple doesn't he?

I've got to admit that I love all the cool tools and toys a fellow can accumlate in this sport. That being said, I think the way Gary has simplified things is great. If nothing else, his back is going to stay healthier not carrying a couple hundred pounds of reloading stuff back and forth.

We all find what works best for us. I'm trying to achieve Gary's level of simplicity; however, I don't know if I'll totally get there. When your a famous HoF kind of guy like Gary, you can show-up half naked and just borrow the stuff you left home. I've seen Gary do this more than once - gratefully not the naked part

I'm hoping Gary asks me to borrow primers at some match and then shoots another world record. I will then claim part of the record - might be my only chance

When I have weighed 8208 it will stay within .1 gr after a few charges are thrown. It measures way better in my redding than the 133 does.
