New members are encouraged to come out to the Aug 9-10 Open Practice weekend were I plan to have reloading demos by some of our best, followed by new members reloading and developing loads for their rifles until noon. In the afternoon, we shoot what we created via range orientation, safety and training.
So bring your fired cases or make some there (LOL), powder, primers, bullets and reloading dies with you Aug 9-10! We will have presses (3) on site and most of the tools required, (mics, verniers, pocket tools, trimmers, many different but not all inclusive die sets, powder measures and scales etc). I have and will bring 308, 6br, 22br, 300 WM, 7mm Mag, 6-250 threaded size and seater dies. I also have 308, 30x47, 6BR and 284 Wilson neck and seater dies. If you have your own dies, bring them with your tools too.
The idea is to have a 6BR and/or 284 and a 308 setup being demoed by a few members. I will start by explaining my reloading process with my 6BR and my 284, from new cases and all the pre prep work I do to them, (I have mostly tight necked rifles that require neck turning; 284s are .312, 308s are .335NK, 30x47 is .332NK, 6-250 is .272NK, 6BR is .269NK, 22MR is .243) to finding a load to try, case length measurements and possible trimming to the right length, possible neck turning setup, proper setup of size dies, resizing, to explaining both ladder powder charge tests and round robin fire order testing, then powder charging and bullet seating. Once this member is done his 308, another will start his 284. After the third demo is done, it's everyone else’s turn at the presses, to do their load work ups, for their cases and assist with die setups, and overseeing for pointers, if required. In the afternoon, we shoot it and make some empties. Next morning, loading followed by shooting in the afternoon. (I'm also sure some of our members will be just practicing in the morning, while some are doing the reloading thing, so we will have you covered, shooting all day long).
I'm having 2 greenshot non competitive shooters who are friends and are now or will be new members, come out for this event. A neighbor gal that wants to learn to shot a rifle, and a friend of my youngest who wants to come out and shoot my rifles. I will fire the ladder test 284 loads for my new barrel over a chrony at 1000 yds and then Mary and Evan will fire the 50 6BR rounds Saturday and I will instruct and help them stay on target. It all starts over again Sunday morning. Reload in morning, picking 2 or 3 loads that were in the "load window" and loading 5 up at each of these and firing in afternoon. From these 5 shot groups, picking one and then loading up this load and varying the sating depths to see if the group can be tighten up any.
This is not a course. It is just a few of us demoing our reloading steps and ways. The SPRA and its members will not be held liable for anyone that sees these demos and at a later unsupervised date, produces un-safe loads and fires them causing damage to themselves or others, or their properties.
If you want to join our association as a new member, you can come out and we will sign you up, new first time members pay only $5 for a full membership in 2014
BTW, we are on Fcaebook now too. Search for "Saskatchewan Provincal Rifle Association - SPRA" on FaceBook or visit www.saskrifle.ca
