I’ve gotten some pretty high speeds 3100 and change at 64000 psi. According to Dr. Mikes projections. But started getting some extraction problems with the #1 at those speeds. The difference in recoil, 3000 to 3100 was surprisingly noticeable. :)

Hopeful, needed to par down the trip to a full week of hunting plus about 4days travel. Had planned on at least 10 days hunting. Still grateful I'm able to go. Last time I was unable to report from RSA. Perhaps that has changed.

One month from today I’ll be driving to Boise then on to JoBurg. Been shooting off sticks quite a bit, getting better at that. Raining hard yesterday so I decided to go to the range as I couldn’t do any yard work. Had a load I wanted to try in the 300 HH. Not sure what I did on the first round...

Well my 257AI project is on hold though the rifle is still in the shipping box. My retirement fund has lost so much money in the last month that I can’t justify spending any at this point. Thankfully I pulled my Africa money out just before things went south. It had been sitting in the Africa...

I pray for Gods mercy on all of you who have suffered the loss of a child.

I’m with HighOctane, unless it was caused by a grizz.

Always hate loosing the special friends we have. Our condolences to your daughter.

Dale I was just fixing to order some 06 brass. I’ll take the 100 Norma off your hands.

You sound like my parents and there were 6 of us between 28 and 17. When it happened it was zero to six in 18 months and 12 by two years later.

Good news on the airman. Given he made it two days after his partner was picked up, given the efforts by Iran to find him, that will be a hell of a story. Hell of a testament to those men and women actually doing the job.

Just once I’d like to own a rifle that starts out like that, just once!

Snow Thursday, didn't stick down low. We're letting the little pasture rest this year, girls club seems to enjoy it.

Snow in the air here this morning (Thursday) also. Didn’t stick at the house, we’re at 3000 ft. Up on the hill it hung around all day.
