No sign of a break in the weather yet in Northern Indiana but it should be right around the corner. Many of us are finishing up our case prep work we do each winter to prepare for the upcoming season. I thought you might find it interesting to hear what the Sinclair techs are currently working on.

Ron is continuing to work the bugs out of his 6mm/223 that he wrote about in the December 2009 – Reloading Press. He also has been working on his 30-06 for some 1000 yard shooting using Berger 175 gr. BT’s.

Bob, who answers most of our tech mail, is working on forming some brass for his 6mm/284 long range varmint rifle while he is waiting on a new stock. He is also getting ready to test some new cast bullets in his 300 Whisper and 7mm TCU. Bob is also retiring some barrels on his .243 Ackley and is going to start shooting a new 6mm CM barrel from Satern.

Pete has been busy sorting his Berger 7mm 180 gr VLD’s using our bullet sorting stand, trimming meplats, and doing some bullet pointing using the Whidden Bullet Pointing system. He has his Lapua brass prepped and ready to go.

Phil is preparing for a full season of shooting Long-Range (Palma and other) plus some 3-Gun. Phil didn’t expand in much detail – not sure what he is up to.

For myself, I have been busy installing a new Hornady shot shell reloader setup for 12 gauge on my bench to do some shot shell reloading and a MEC for my 20 gauge. I haven’t spent a lot of time shot shell reloading but lately I wanted to start reloading my own so I could control my own supply. Many of our customers have asked us to start carrying shot shell reloading gear so we are slowly trying to expand our line in this direction. We have had many of our customers comment that they reload both metallic and shot shells and would like to get their tools from us.

All the others are busy just doing their routine brass preparation for spring. Remember, if we can help you with anything as all of us approach the busy shooting season, please let us know.

Our big catalog #2010-A should be arriving in your mail box sometime this week or next week. We have a lot of new reloading tools, components, optics, and cleaning gear – take some time to check it out! Based what we hear from you we are continuing to add to our line of products at such a fast rate that many of the new products didn’t make the catalog but they will be added to the website as fast as we can. I look forward to chatting with you next month. We appreciate your continued business and look forward to serving you again.

Good Shooting,

Bill Gravatt
