I'm gonna put one on my new house on the 20ac we picked up. Summer yote hunting!
de primed some 25-20 and 32-20 case to run through the wet tumbler
de primed 50 6mm Dasher Cases and annealed them to load them for a foray tomorrow
took some case measurement of the first firing
Go-Gauge measures 1.255 at the datum line
unfired case measures 1.2555. that is why they are a little tight going in
a fired case measures 1.255...that's tight
I think the COAL should be 1.540 and the Alpha Brass is measuring 1.532-1.542 with the more common of the 50 running 1.537-1.542...guess they will get trimmed to 1.536 just to square everything up.

This was the winning group today at our gathering. I turned around to share camaraderie at another shooter about the first 3 shots that were touching...then I blew the last 2 shots. My story is Mike paid me good money to throw the last 2 shots
practiced my minute of deer eyeball here...nothing to report...I missed

Went to the camp to feed. Found a .22 punch round I left out there last time. It was submerged in water for unknown time. Stuck it in the Rough Rider and bang! Impressive. Picked up a new Rough Rider today as well. Should be fun!
I have one of the long barrel Rough Riders, with a sand bag I pop a steel plate easily at 50 yds and can hit plate at 100 yds quite often. It’s a surprisingly accurate pistol

Benchrest squirrel gun! Lots of parts online, may be something "spacy" in my future!
Finally made it to the range to try out my two latest acquisitions...Springfield Armory 'Garrison' 1911 and Rock Island Armory 'Rock Ultra' 1911...both 5" and .45 ACP of course. Both are great shooters that ate up my semi-wadcutter loads and begged for more

Got to try my glock 30 with cci shotshells on a nope nope. Wife called screaming in the phone while she was closing the chicken coop. Cottonmouth down! Took 3 tries in the dark. Glock cycled just fine

Maybe I should post some screenshots of some Call Of Duty scores. HahaFor $10 I shot all manner of machine guns, grenade launchers, shotguns and M4's and proceeded to shoot the crap out of the machines, beat Skynet and become a Resistance Leader

Definitely good training on a rainy day. Or a broke day. Real ammo is damn expensive now. Especially when graphics and gun controllers are so real nowadays. It's definitely good for uping our hand/eye coordination and muscle memory
