Need a mini 14 to complete the basic bitch starter pack. Ron Spomer would approve.

Ruger does make very nice revolvers. About the only thing they make worth owning.

Well, there is the No 1. And the Red Label. And the Number 3. Oh and the MkII .22 is as reliable as gravity. And the Old Army. Ruger makes great guns they are inexpensive because they use (and have always used) state or the art manufacturing and design-for-mfg.

Like the Model T Ford. It was an inexpensive car, not a cheap car. It was inexpensive because of volume. When you make 15,000,000 model T’s you can sell them cheap and engineer them well.

Consistency, or lack thereof

Playing more with GRT. Theoretically, it shows an optimal charge of 44.9gn at 97% load ratio and 100% burn rate at 62,000 psi. Not gonna test that load any further for now, though.

Saving components for fire forming. GRT will help a lot comparing all my random powder, just for fun. I don’t need to test powders, really, but can compare Varget, 4895, N450 and whatever else is in my stash, for fun.

Feel like I should buy something from Little Crow. What a great series.

Im not telling you to just load this and shoot it, but my load with a 175 or a 178gr bullet is 45gr of varget seated to book length. With whatever flavor of the month large primers. Currently it's 40 year old Winchester LR. Lapua large primer or sig hybrid cases, 20" 9 twist lilja.

Calypso - Quantum - kestrel - HUD Bluetooth Hokey Pokey

That is exactly how it SHOULD work. I mean you can connect an LRF and a Kestrel to a Garmin device at the same time. There is literally zero reason you shouldn’t be able to do the same thing on a phone.

As I said, I love AB Q, but there are a number of very simple things that you can’t do. Quick example is you can’t rename a device in the app. But since you can only have one freaking thing connected at once, I guess it ultimately doesn’t matter.

Got the cabinet table for $100 on Facebook marketplace. High school shop project that the maker didn’t want any more!

I used scrap wood to build the tray inside.

Urethane is drying now…
