Patience Grasshopper

Last weekend I got a screaming deal on a Hornady Reloading kit.  After spending hours researching, cleaning, sizing, priming, charging, and seating.  I'm staring a dozens of cartridges that I created.  Awesome.  But I'm a data hound.  I love data.  I always want more data.

And I don't have a chronograph.

This is a problem.

Lots of research has led me to the perfect chrono.  A quick order and I began my long vigil at the mailbox.  After a week, still no box, not even a shipping notification.  Hmmm.  I called and they are out of stock awaiting the next order.  It'll be a couple of weeks.  I don't want to shoot these cartridges until I can really see what they are doing.

This sucks.  I guess I'll shoot factory ammo for a couple of weeks.
