Title: Spring Weather
Post by: DanO on April 14, 2012, 10:25:04 AM: I for one have had just about had enough "Spring" for this year.
Not getting any incentive to go and shoot/test this year, with the weather being what it has been in my part of the world.
Hopefully a few of you are able to get out and get the shooting year started.

I have cabin fever so bad I almost went to Totem and started on new flooring in the bathroom. Think I will clean the muzzle loader instead. Cabin fever is a strange thing and when you get to this stage of it ( I hate both of theese jobs equally) you are very near the breaking point!!!!!

Post by: hendershot on April 15, 2012, 09:11:50 PM: Sorry Rick. Worked till midnight on bathroom renos Saturday night and right back at it early Sunday morning. I had good intentions of coming out but I was in the groove. My reno motivation has been lacking lately so I decided to roll with it. I've actually been doing a lot of shooting lately regardless of weather or temp. I enjoy the colder days as no one ever comes out to shoot and we all like to have the range to ourselves don't we.

Dan, have you got that 6.5 up and running?

Yes I do actually. I've only started load development though and at the point in the process where I'm trying to find the accuracy nodes. I haven't even shot any groups yet.

Post by: bedrock on May 02, 2012, 11:04:00 AM: Dan, tried both ways and it won't work. Shoot me an e-mail with your phone number
if you still have my e-mail. I have a guy that will buy that 6.5 reamer off you if you
want to part with it.
