Sitting in the children's area watching the 2yr old while Momma shops for new frames and lenses at the optometrist. They're having a sale. They have free micro brew. A plasma tv. And playing AC/DC on the PA system. Not bad....

Getting better. Thanks for asking!

She's gained the movement back in her right upper half. Her right leg still has the inability to work correctly. She's not going to die, though.... So.... Yeah that's good.

Use your scope as a spotting scope. With an 8" plate, you should be able to see hits and misses out to a pretty good distance.

I got my Indian Taco, of course I had to buy lunch for 3 other people too.

Probably shouldn't be bothered by it, but it seems like every time I do the good Sam thing it costs me a hundred bucks that I can't really afford.

Yeah, that and some handheld optics... lol. We can't buy all the good shit right out of the gate, gonna have to work on it. We'll help each other while we figure stuff out, same thing when we get reloading..kind of a cross check, we can do stuff together and maintain some kind of check and balance thing. Shit's always better when ya aint doing it by yourself.

Thank you, Sir.. We'll keep our minds open to new ideas for improvements or upgrades...we might even try some stuff that ain't a good idea, but at least we'll know either way.. lol.

You guys know of any range that rents chronographs?

Not that I know of, KS.

I should clarify this by saying.......... not trying anything "unsafe", rather, safe shooting target ideas that didn't work out the way we'd like them to.

Best bet is to hook up with one of the members here. Pretty sure several own chrono.

I put some reflective orange decal on it for the pic, we'll use some florescent orange paint for it later into use. We're only limited by creativity at this point, already thought about other stuff we can do to make reactive spinning targets for it, or arms welded off to the sides with clips for holding different shit. Maybe a plate on top for other exploding targets to be placed on.

Thats a sweetass target man!

I need to give larue an opportunity to fix it. its still an on going issue. When it gets fixed, and I verify that it's fixed, I'm selling it.

that being said, I'm not comfortable saying what made me send it back.

that is a drag about the larue belly - a rifle with that rep and price should be perfect out of the box

i decided to try my hand at 38 special - the lyman book lists a load using titegroup which is a powder i'm very familiar with :)

3.2 TG using a 158gr LSWC is a cream puff load that you will enjoy shooting.

OR

3.2 - 3.5 TG using a 125 plated FP

Shooting them out of my revolvers is nice. Out of the lever action, like shooting 22's.

thanks for the plinker load, i never think to go under the listed minimum - the lyman book says to start with 4 grains of tg under a 125g fp. one of the fun things reloading is trying different loads.

http://data.hodgdon.com/main_menu.asp
is where i took that data from
Lyman is nice as other load data books too. The variation between Powder mfg , bullet makers and other reference material can be head banging. I use powder data and work up from there. I also take other data, average them and see what results i get. With today's component supply chain sporadic, i use start data as much as i can.

We'll see what the actual end result might be.

it is - we compile all the data available and figure out a start point and do it - i have the lyman, hornady, and sierra books - then i go online and double check everything and find out what the real min/max are

i'm so happy i stocked up on some things before all the stupid happened

Heya 10 MM, and HC.........

40% increase is a shitty deal indeed....Lobo, that was either a reference to the Obama crap, OR....just the regular ass humping that we take on stuff. Both ways suck for sure.
