Folks,
Finishing up a box of 7mm projectiles last night; another 60 rounds loaded for the 7mm-08 Tikka T3.
Sitting in the bottom of the tray I use for projectiles, is one extra!
Pic attached shows the 55Gn .224 Zmax pills I have been loading for the .223 Remington.
Projectile on the right is the 120Gn V-Max pill I've been loading for the 7mm-08.
Projectile in the middle seems to be a .224 Vmax pill weighing in around 30 grains!
I have never purchased a projectile lighter than 50 grains for the .224, so I can only assume it's a gift from Hornady!
What kind thoughtful people they are!
Buuuuttttt....They dont seem to make a 30Gn pill in .224! Calipers show it having the same diameter as the 55Gn pill beside it, but the Hornady site doesnt have a 30Gn pill listed at all. Smallest for .224 is 35gn, and I've weighed this thing 3 times now, after weighing other known projectiles to check the scales.
So, a present, AND a mystery!
I am SO lucky!
Cheers,
Rod.
