Entry for August 2026. 10-10 shot off front rest with bunny bag in the rear. Savage 110 with Criterion 26" SS bull barrel with OSS suppressor. Scoped with Sightron S6. Ammo is Lapua new Brass that had been trimmed and tension set with mandrel, primed with 205M over 23 gn of Varget pushing a Berger 73 gn boat tail target bullet at 2750. Whatta Hobby!

Varget gets my vote.

Rgr dat Yogi!

Getting out on the range is a hoot. Shooting bolt action precision rifles makes my day. Have had a visitor the last couple of days that stops by for a swim in our pond and then wanders off into the woods. Whatta Hobby!

Viva America!

I am a patient person, I can wait.

Before the invention of the GPS tracking collar, how did Maine coon hunters find their cats when they treed a coon?

Finished priming this 200 cnt batch of Lapua .223 once fired brass. Whatta Hobby!

Known as Memorial Day where I come from at least since the 50s. I remember Spanish Am War vets being honored riding in Model T honor car, then the WWI vets , then the Korean, then us Viet vets, now all the others since.

After a few months of not being able to feel brass in my fingers, it's starting to come back 1 and 5 weeks after surgery for carpel tunnel. Doing a bunch of .223 Lapua once fired and chamber formed. Neck sizing, mandrel setting neck tension, primer pocket scrub, neck brush and flash hole uniforming. Only did 50 so far this morning with another couple hundred on the que for today. Raining cats and dogs outside so it a super time to get onto the brass. Whatta Hobby!

Thanks for posting. I have a grandson that serves proudly in the 82nd.

At least the constant pain is finally gone. Nice to sleep at night and feel comfortable during the day. Ahhhh, the miracles of modern medicine and the willingness to accept it. Should have had it done 20 years ago. Whatta Hobby!

Thanks guys. I really do enjoy putting together 1/4 moa shooters. Slight delay for healing. Have had carpel tunnel issues for years. Had release done a month ago on right hand and left yesterday. Should be back to abinormal soon. Whatta Hobby!

Still use a Giraud flame annealer here. My cases get annealed after each firing. Whatta Hobby!

Thanks guys. It is a work in progress for a old Marine.
