50moa rail and I’m starting with another 25moa in the rings
I figured Geno. Just thought I would bust your chops.
I will admit to owning a keltec once. Was young and had no idea it was such a piece. Had a Sig and a 1912 and wanted something smaller......
It actually ran fine through 7-800 rds before I wised up and bought a better pistol and sold it.

My FIL bought one of their shotguns. It looks pretty cool but doesn’t seem very practical... I don’t think he’s ever shot it
@Geno C.
I'm running a 350 pointed Sierra at 2950, 130 grains retumbo in Bartram brass, with 215 match.
55 moa to a mile.
Friend loaded some with cci and had hangfires.
What are you going to run in yours ?

I figured it was a fair amount. The ass end of the that scope jacked up like 17 year olds street rod ??
Mine is a Snipetac, not sure if yours is or not. The plan is 377 cutting edge or 350 badlands. Bertram brass for now, should be in the neighborhood of 140gr of RL33, fggm 215m. I have a friend that had hangfires with Remington large primers too.
BTW, you know that rifle would be more accurate if your scope was in mils.........
Yep, pretty common with the CCI's. Gotta run Federal 215M's generally (that's what I ran).
That’s a long story, but at least I don’t have to share my wind calls with the mil guys ?
Im just full of silliness today.
Making dinner, completing Homework and finishing up Valentines with a 6 year old makes me need to be a bit less serious......
Cant wait to hear about that thing shooting. Cant imagine 140ish grains of powder. Wow!

After 3 days of nothing but work and sleep I went for a walk in the back yard after work. Tomorrow 3-5 inches of snow...
I don't know why but when I look at that I think moonshine should be coming out of it.
Oh he actually got shot in the hand. That was just taken at the “moment of impact.” He was just showing what a crap day he was having ?

Forming went well. Cases look good and the weather is perfect! Once all the cases are formed I’ll have to sight in again but for now I’m ready to roll
Jamie got the glasses for me for Christmas. A local company makes then with different bullets and different sized glasses.
That 5h is pretty nice. Not sure how I’m goingg to shoot this one so I might use the JoyPod to save weight
This is my 4th Xlr evolution. I’m getting to really like them
Hi,
You will eventually switch over to an over the barrel bipod system and Thank Me later

Ain’t that cold, probably low 30s
Doubtful, I have a Phoenix and JoyPod if I want something different than this oneHi,

Some of us old people got thin blood and are used to cold at low 50's, just sayin...?
Are you going to anneal the fired brass ?
I lost several Bartram on 3rd firing in the CT, so, as much forming as it moved, might consider annealing. That stopped my case loss and dropped my es and sd.
Looking forward to your first mile group!

I anneal everything after each firing. I haven’t split a neck since I started doing that. My friend had 6 firings on his Bertram cases in a chamber same as mine
The last 3 went into about an inch at 100. There’s really no telling just yet. I’m using a different bullet than I I plan to shoot when formed. I just seated .010” into the lands and a random middle of the road charge for the parent case
Ok. My spine doc called about my mylegram. I think I told y'all what that was like last week.
Anyhow, no encroachment on spinal cord, no leaks in the pipe. They don't see any nerves rubbing or pinching. They do see that the fusion is moving, it is not fused. There is a screw broke.
My options are injections, and/or surgery.
I had no delusions that any news I got would be anything but bad.
I explained to him I knew how injection regimens end. I explained my experience with my knees since my early 30s, I now need surgery on my knees worse than ever.
He agreed with my assessment, said surgery is a forgone conclusion, just a matter of how long I want to put it off. He said risk of infection goes up when revisiting a site. I had not heard of that, but there it is.
They keep telling me no new knees because risk of infection is greater in fat people. They told me those knees ain't designed for heavy people, and they don't like to do knee surgery on people as young as me.
I hate doctors.
A good one is hard to find. I do believe my spine doc is a good one.
Gonna use the coming days to find a new knee doc.

Fantastic news that there are no spinal chord issues to compound the fusion issues.? I know that doesn’t fix the current issue but man that’s good news. Know exactly what you mean on the when thing as I am putting one off because I started with a new company. Cost of being happier where i work. You will get through this, just hang in there amigo
Unless you happen to be trying a new powder (RL26) that turns out to be ‘the powder’ for your new rifle and only bought a pound of it. Then what was readily on the shelf disappears and becomes unobtanium???? The 6.5-284 loves that shit in two bullet weights?
Still never run out of that. Or 4350 to varget or anything. I tend to stack it deep. Same with bullets. 140 Berger’s? Always had mine. When I was young I learned how shitty it is to run out of stuff. I don’t let that happen now that I’m an adult
Sent P.M..
That's it! I'm working on it myself with a 6" chefs knife! If you look closely you can see where the fusion didn't take.
I'm kidding, I'd never cut my spine out like that...silly. it'd take a much bigger knife than that.
Making a big batch of oxtail soup.

Some of you might emember this place from last summer. My birthday yesterday and the wife snuck me away.....
DANG! Geno, please post a pic of a well known brass next to that if you don't mind.
That bullet is insanely long.
Think I am going to have to get some glasses like that. Soon to be FIL likes to sip a little fine spirits with me. He was in the Army in the 60's. So he needs a .45 projectile.

Man that is nice!
P.S.: Be sure to drink lots of fluids today. Ample hydration is important the day after Valentines Day.
