Dale,
W231 will definitely meter better than 700X thru a lil' Dandy, in fact I only use the small flake powder or ball powder in mine.
When I first got mine in the early 1980's I got inconsistent charges with Unique. Don't know if it was the powder or My technique with the then new measure, but I've rarely used it with Unique since. And never bothered to try 700X.

As far as today, I'm going out to the garage and size more bullets. Right after lunch. Got ya keep my priorities staight.

Finished sizing 1,000 .44cal bullets PC'd w/Eastwood Squirrel Gray. My Chiropractor is Really bummed out. Cowboy Shooting shut down for the duration. Moving on to Sizing .32 RN PC'd w/Smokes J.D. Green.
Hornady One Shot Spray Sizing Lube in the Pump Bottle is Really working out well.
 

Rally

NC Minnesota
Loaded 100 .243 today. Sierra 100 gr Game King SPBT, 41 grs. IMR 4350, @2900 Fps.
Had a bit of a melt today. Ran my dogs out in my field and the glare about blind me. Really softened the snow up on top. My Labs would fall through every couple steps and little Cash could still run on top. The squirrels didn't show up at the kennels today, guess Cash educated them.
Our governor was exposed to Corvid 19, and is doing a two week self imposed quarantine, and our Lt. Governors brother died from Corvid 19 in Tn. Guess he already had cancer. Sen. Amy Klobuchar's husband is hospitalized in Va. with it also. Something like 236 cases confirmed in Mn. and one in Duluth, so within 100 miles now.
Have to go to town to PO tomorrow to mail some orders I finished today. That ought to be a hoot!

Having my morning coffee. Headed to Docs for my Cpap review. They never called me so I guess my appointment is still on.
Then if the weather is right, later. I might head up to my brothers and piddle with the 90 F250 I bought to fix up.Do a Transmission inspection band adjustment, fluid and filter change. Then going to try and get the pollution junk back together and get it right with a few replacement parts I bought.
In our county we can remover the pollution stuff on anything 20 years or older, just figured it would be easier and cheaper to get it going then to do a proper removal and trick the computer into running right.
If that don't happen then it is rip it all off buy, a couple bypass plates and pullies and a fooler modual and some 75 ohm resisters.
But think I can actually fix it right for under 60 bucks.

Getting ready to head to work and fix a schedule with more holes than a hunk of Swiss cheese.
So far people have been patient with us, for the most part. The pharmacy won’t close because medical conditions never self quarantine. Hoping to not burn out the people still working.

Dallas County, in North texas, has issued a "shelter in place" order until April 3rd. No one allowed to go to work unless your an "essential" worker.
Collin County and other north Texas counties are going to follow suite in the next few days.
Not an ordered lockdown. Can still walk outside and go to the grocery store, drug store and liquor store, but not work.
BIL is in security and they gave him a phone number to have the police call if he's stopped while driving, to inform the police he is allowed to be out on the road.
Was thinking about going to the deer lease for a couple of days, but not sure if we'll get stopped on the road or what the rules are regarding "getting the hell outta Dodge".

I should be getting a “get out of jail free” letter today in case of curfew.

I have sat here enough and listened to the tick of the clock for an hour or so this morning, which sort of gets me to thinking and calculating.
so here goes.
6 weeks to the top of the bell curve.
approximately 500-550 deaths per 50,000 infected.
the places that will be the hardest hit will be the ''sanctuary'' cities.
these are just my predictions, I'm not really watching the news or anything, but that's what I'm feeling will happen.

Last I heard from Dallas, you are allowed to leave the county. Just not to work. May change. Probably wouldn't worry so far. Remember when KC was under marshal rule and I was stopped by Guard asking what I was doing - going home from school! Actually was with her on a date across state line at movie, and we left before it was over to beat the curfew. And yes, they were stopping every vehicke and checking for GUNS.

California's Central Coast Amid The Insanity
Got a small outside retirement side job to do, but it's been delayed because an unscheduled rain cloud made a visit. While waiting for the intermittent sun to dry things out I decided to detail strip the Randall. Though it's been several years and easily 2000 rounds since the last time I did it, the gun was pretty clean.

L.A. County Sheriff has ordered all gun shops to close in the County. "Non-essential businesses", he calls them. NatGuard is getting deployed here, mostly to help set up temporary hospital facilities per MSM. It has not escaped my notice that NG might be given "Other assigned duties" to include roadblock taskings. None seen, so far.

This is exactly why I own Glock pistols. Ugly--reliable--affordable. And if John Law or G.I. Joe wants to seize it, I'm not heart-broken. I am licensed to carry nationwide via H.R. 218, but the L.A. County Sheriff and our governor are making up the rules as they go along, so I assume the CA NG will behave similarly.

Interesting . . . Our County Sheriff also issued a news release today to inform the residents that Cornbread is dead. :sigh: Poor Cornbread.
