My glass of beer. I found a load that me, my rifle, and the budget found amicable, so I hit it hard reloading sometime back, because the components were available and prices were just going up. There is no more sighting in, it's just a sight check. If I ever run out of my hand loads (???) I have...
If you have been blessed to tag-out with a B&C, P&Y, or SCI dinner for the table, tell us about it. When, where, weapon, time spent hunting, etc...But, please do not do it at unreasonable length. A couple photos are encouraged, but not an album.
OK, my people, this is RICH.
I just got evicted from the extended stay no-tell-motel (waiting on house closing) because I called in a complaint about a dog barking , non-stop, for over 2 Hrs ! The day manager kicks ME out because a cop showed up to enforce the law, yet the dog is still just...
Yeah, I get 'cha. Most handloaders go through it. I wasted too much money and time going through the 'What If's". Finally got down to the realization the most every shot I took ended in a tag being punched, regardless of whether I was using what ever bullet design.
Bullet design only helps...
Uhhhh, let me see. I bought my 7/08 right after I divorced, as a 'Good for You' present to me. The Ex & I were chained for 15 yrs, the 7/08 has stayed with me as my GoTo hunting rifle for 6 yrs beyond that! My only 100% 1st shot, done rifle.
But to your question....Yeah it's more than...
1st....it's still 2X the $.$$ from less than 2 yrs ago. Around here it really depends on which little neighborhood you're driving through. It can range from $3.19 up to $3.89 within just a mile, or so.
Without actually naming someone directly, who would you wish the 'Fickle Finger Of Fate' somehow found it's way into an inappropriate place of unsaid person ? Multiple answers are gleefully excepted, along with explanations.
Just an hour ago I got the last of my crap out of the apt I was living in. Even with 3 Strapping young men to do the heavy work there was still a Ton of smaller (?) stuff that I needed to do myself. Took me 3 days. My body is 'Screaming' "You Dumba$$, you're 66" ! My back hurts, my calves are...
The Only Good that can be said about moving is that you get to Sh!t Can all the crap that has accumulated over the years and you never use anymore. (it was a lot) Movers will be here in a few hours, I've been up all night....time for a quick nap. Back to work tomorrow night, back to the house...
Though I did make CWO3, (in the Corps) I have to say I had my best time/ fun as an E-5 Senior Sergeant. I lead Platoons. I had enlisted Marines with me (Kids), in the dirt, on the march, in a hole, the desert, the MF'N d@mn COLD, ...laughing, suffering, sharing through rough times. Those are the...
Aloha! Miss my days on the islands. (except for the monsoon season)
What a hunters paradise! Pigs, Spanish goats, Mouflon Sheep, Axis & Blacktail deer, Turkey galore.
Not buying a 308 is like being at a bar, Fri night, during college, having a freshman Elisha Cuthbert blonde walk up to you and asking you to buy her a beer....and you say No!
