So, What You Doing On The Bench Today?

[WarEagleEd]

I finally did complete loading those .30-06 cases (which I got in a trade on this very forum). I loaded 64 with Varget and 168 gr. Hornady A-max bullets, and 11 cases with 155 gr. Hornady A-max bullets. I want to load some more of the 155 grain bullets, but I need to prep more cases. Once again, I used my recently acquired PACT digital scale and dispenser. Once I started loading, I checked three powder charges with my beam scale and they agreed. After they were all loaded I didn't have enough room in my MTM R-60 case to hold them all. So I went by Academy Sports today and picked up a Plano 1230-50. I really didn't want the Plano box because it is made in China, but the only other place in town that might have the MTM case was out of the way and there was no guarantee that they would have an R-60, though they do carry MTM products. I do like that the Plano case has a real hinge, not a live one like is on the MTM case and which will fail at some point in time. But the squares within that hold each round are large, bigger than in the MTM R-60, though they are supposed to fit the same rounds. The rounds rattle around and are not conducive to being stored point down.
