Chambered a new barrel, new brass, new trigger spring and new bipod with new Garmin Xero C1 Pro Chronograph. It's a game changer! Easy set up and it never missed a shot. Everything downloaded to my app with out doing anything. It just works!

I'm looking forward to developing this new barrel. I think it's gonna be a shooter! These are 5 shot groups. I think I'm gonna develop a load around 2607 fps and 43 grains of Varget. It's also showing some positive compensation.

That's some fantastic groups right there! #3 in particular ! I think you definitely have a shooter on your hands!

Looks like the real deal. I'm curious though. A couple of my guns will clear the bench of almost anything with their muzzle blast, including a box of shells. I've read that the unit must be within 15 inches of the barrel. I could possibly attach it to something heavy but it would still get kicked around. What you say ?

I don't have the Garmin, but it has 1/4-20 thread tripod mount. I mount mine to a camera tripod and place it in front of the bench.
 
Loaded just over 400 9mm. 1st time using my Dillon SDB since I got it back from Dillon after they did maintenance to it. Worked great, smoother than I ever remember it.
While I was loading 40S&W, I got about 50 rounds into it and I started having problems with the spent primers getting hung up. Turns out, my spent primer tube was plugged up and filled. Spent some time this morning and tore apart the press to get all the stuck primers out. Back to running in tip top shape. Turns out when I put the cup that collects the spent primers on there was a small plate that was flipped upside down and caused a partial block of the spent primer tube. All fixed now.
 
Decided to combine all of my notes and personal load data into an electronic format using AsciiDoc format AsciiDoctor (introduced to it at work for generating user manuals) to get rid of the multiple binders and spiral notebooks to make it easier to find everything. Also inventoried my powder and primers. I definitely need to shoot more.

So do I. I have different worksheets for different purposes within the same workbook. For example, on one page I always enter the information when I buy components (powder, primers, bullets, etc.). On one worksheet I used formulas to automatically calculate my actual per round cost for each caliber. It is nothing fancy but it sure does work for me.
