Spotted for a member here sighting in both a 300 WM and a 338 @ 200yd. It took a bit.... May have to figure out some reason to drive over to his house in the AM,,,,, I'm thinking i'm gonna need a Cup o sugar....or milk....or plunger. Just so I can get the chance to poke his right shoulder,,,,,,in the front...... .

Lol. My new .450BM 6lb wondergun gave me a bruise that lasted a week. I may be shopping for a more powerful brake.

wrote my Congressman a letter regarding the anti-gun legislation being proposed....
Dear Congressman, As you are probably aware there are several bills now pending before congress regarding firearms. These bills are being written and supported by leftists whose goal is outlawing all firearms. The tragedy in Las Vegas is just another springboard for them. They do this every time we have one of these rare events. I don't wish to diminish the tragedy at all, but this is not how laws are supposed to be written. Law makers should think critically, honor their oath of office and consider all sides rationally. What we have hear is an emotional, knee-jerk reaction to an event that even Mrs. Gun Control herself, Diane Feinstein, admitted could not have been stopped with ANY law. Please defend our Constitution with what ever means necessary, remember it is not the "bump stock" these people are after, it is ALL GUNS, and this is just another step.
Thanks for your time and your service to our community
Respectfully Yours,

I got a new 64gun safe. I started to load it up but noticed that carbine length rifles were to short to fit right in the rack so they will stay in the old safe until I make something to elevate them.

You're going to need a separate safe just for Pmags!

The funny part is getting the safe wasn`t even my idea, I was shopping with the wife and we passed by some safes and Connie turned around and said that I should get a new safe because my old one was to small. You got to love an enabler

It was Savage 99 day yesterday.1981 99C Series A in .308 1940 99EG in .300 1913 22 HP that has a new life as a 250-3000 1913 22HP The first two I've shot before, and both were again very accurate. I was testing FPS on some new loads and found the sweet spot for both the 308 and the 300 based on 10 Round Load Development Ladder Test which I am a firm believer in these days! The 1940 EG in Savage 300 continues to amaze me with buckhorn site. At 50 yards, the first 2 shots were hole through hole and the 3rd about 1/2" MOA above them after the first fouling shot. The 99C in .308 with the cheap Tasco scope was grouping deadly. So time to move on to the rifles I haven't reloaded for. The 1913 22HP that is now a .250-300, professional restored at some point in its life, didn't fare so well for accuracy but the newer scope I put on it but I didn't have time to fiddle with the scope, I was there to chrono the Remington box ammo .250 with 100 gr projectiles so I could get some velocity readings and come close or below Remington velocities. Chrono on the Remington .250 with 100 gr projectiles had a great std dev was as follows for an average: AVG StdDev Min Max 2657 9.54 2647 2666Put that one away for another day to figure out the accuracy with the scope. Last up was the 1913 22 Hi Power using Lelliar & Bellot box ammo with 70 gr projectiles. First shot I noticed I wasn't even on paper. The Marbles Tang peep is adjusted to it's lower point and still shooting too high.It was adjusted down to max. I need to get the original Lyman one a but they're kind of spendy right now on eBay. So I flipped that marbles peep sight down and flipped up the standard buck rear sight. Much better, first shot at 50 yards was 2" right of center. Next shot was 6" right of center. WHAT THE HECK? I couldn't get any good accuracy with the 6 shots I fired but when I start reloading this round I hope to draw that group in. All in all it was a fun day and I've got lots of box ammo data and 2 of my reloads ironed out for the 300 and 308 savages. The star of the day was a non savage 1963 Ruger 44 Magnum Carbine. After adjust the Bushnell 1-4x Illuminated reticle scope using Heurters Box ammo in 240gr, I proceeded to use my loads with a 210 gr bullet. At 50 yards it was holes through holes. Can't wait to adjust this one out to 100 yards. The Heurters box ammo had a high Standard deviation compared to my loads and averaged as such: AVG StdDev Min Max 1502.22 52.81 1425 1595 My loads in 210 gr were as follows. AVG StdDev Min Max 1451.6 26.64 1413 1485That's all! Fun day!
