Arrived.....

At last. These packages were due either Thursday or Friday but when I rang was told that they had not even been sent. So this morning I didn't worry as I thought Tuesday at the earliest. However when I got back from my walk I found a card from the delivery company saying.....sorry we missed you....but luckily they had left it with a neighbour so my faith has been partially restored. It is my shotgun cartridge reloaded and most of the bits I need apart from the powder which has to be delivered separately. A happy afternoon setting it up for the shot drop of 21gms using a digital scale and also spilling some shot all over the table....! Hopefully the powder will arrive tomorrow and I can then get that side of it set up.
It's all needed reasonably quickly as in a couple of weeks I'm in a team of 5 at the last shoot of the season which finishes with a driven flush when the sky goes black with clays and you have 90seconds to hit as many as possible. Fast loading is essential - the good ones can shoot some 23/25 cartridges in the allotted time....it's great fun but a tad stressful.
