[QUOTE="uncle money bags, post: 2579313, member: 8377"] [U]Correction, 5 shots and I got 4 hits. follow up on the last shot was on its way before the sound of the gong was heard at the firing line for the third hit. just sayin. lol [/U] I was going to post something in this thread about that load but deleted it before posting.
