so waht ya doin today?

[462]

Put some 140-grain jacketed/IMR 4350 test rounds through the scouterized Swede. A productive session, except for the 10:30 98* temperature.

Two more days of this miserable heat, than the temperature is scheduled to drop down to a seasonal and comfortable 69*.

 

[Rick]

Just one of those days were it's just to damn nice out to do much of anything except be outside. 78 degrees and 32% humidity, only thing I managed all day except drinks out on the deck was the 1 1/2 pound rib-eye I just threw on the fire. Life is tough huh?

For you guys that aren't retired yet from experience I can highly recommend it.

 

[Brad]

Whipped out a .431+ push thru sizer. The Star wasn’t real happy sizing down some PCd bullets so I made this to save wear and tear on the Star.
Pretty happy, took maybe 40 min start to finish with one of Keith’s blanks.

 

[popper]

Made a couple hundred BO cases from LC 223. I'm beat but I don't have to neck turn them.

 

[462]

102* outside and 88* inside, and too miserably hot to do anything except complain about how miserably hot it is.

 

[CZ93X62]

102* and 10% rel/hum. 12-15 MPH breeze. Pretty pleasant, have the windows open to catch the breeze.

 

[Brad]

Not too humid and mid 70s.
Beautiful day to shoot so khornet and I did just that.
I fired 100 each of 45 ACP, 9mm, and 38 special.

 

[462]

Humidity is 31% and we'd welcome a breeze.

 

[waco]

Got all of my 6.5cm and 338lm loaded for a long range shooting trip in a couple weeks. Trying to decide on a side iron to take.

 

[Brad]

A, as in just one?
Don’t limit yourself man.

 

[waco]

Really going to be spending most of our time trying out our new Bullseye camera system while trying to break 2000 yards.
A little rimfire and pistol action in the evening will be in order though.

 

[waco]

Made two new targets at work. One is 36”x36”x1/4” A-36 and the swinger is 3/8” AR-500 for distance shooting (1000 we hope) with the rifles. It is a 4/12” plate.

 

[Brad]

I saw a video where a guy made targets that look just like those.......

How well does the A36 hold up down range? Is that what your existing 1000 yard target is made from?

 

[waco]

1000 yard target is AR-500. That .338LM zips right through mild steel at that distance. I think we will be okay at 2K with the mild.

 

[Brad]

I don’t know. Bet you end up with a religious target.

Brad, it sounds like you're ready to give up pharmacology and go to work in a job shop, where the real money is. $15.00/hr.

No way. I have enough stress already.

Looking online at some ballistic calculators your bullet will still be going 1000 FPS or so at 2K yards. Dents will be a certainty. Holes are possible?

 

[fiver]

stress?
man,, if Walter gets caught goofing off like that he is gonna get fired, now that's stress.

just went around town running errands for the most part today.
helped Littlegirl fill in a gap in the cement next to her house with some flex seal stuff, we will pour a cement patch over the top of it tomorrow.
went out on her patio for a while afterwards then realized it was after 6 and I still hadn't re-potted the bell pepper plants, or watered the plants that survived the cold Saturday night.

the plants got watered.

I’ll find out in two weeks....
