Actual testing results 1st attempt

Well the first few days of testing were a little disjointed. All of our gear worked well enough but we had issues with the ammunition. The biggest initial problem was failures to feed. More on this later. The biggest issue regarding consistent results was variance in neck turning, more on this later.
In testing creating consistent loads is just about the first thing you must concentrate on. As these were mainly my early conversions of various 308 based cases. Thankfully this is no longer a problem, does anyone want a bucket of converted cases?
