No injuries or exploding firearms--but an expensive mishap nonetheless.
After a layoff of load development during the hunting season--I spent much of last week prepping and reloading for my 6.8 spc rifle in the quest of finding an effective hunting load that can also group MOA or less.
I meticulously researched and measured everything and developed large ladder test batches for 5 different bullets. Finally finishing everything I was looking forward to a long day of hopefully finding the sweet spot for the different bullets. So I jumped in my car and drove up the winding mountain road to the local range and get everything set up.
Upon getting my ammo boxes out--imagine my shock and chagrin when I opened them up and there was just a jumbled mass of mixed-up cartridges! Somehow my range bag must have rolled around in the back of the car--though in many years of doing this it has never happened before. I am now going to cut small foam squares to fit atop the cartridges inside the ammo boxes.
