I've been doing a bit of reloading this weekend. Yesterday I loaded a few 243 with no problems - all predictable.
Today - I went out for a walk in the sunshine & when I got back, I immediately started loading some 223 rounds for the range meeting tomorrow at Cawdor.
I started getting silly static electricity problems - powder sticking to all sorts of places & making it almost impossible to continue.
- I was stumped for a while trying to work out what was different today. After completely failing to make any sense of it and wiping everything down etc I was still getting the same problems. - Then I twigged :idea: - I still had my Meindle desert boots on from my walk. They were building up a massive static charge in me which caused the problems. --- Took off me boots - sweaty socks on the carpet & bingo! no more static!
One to remember!
