The CZickness XLIII prepping for winter.

[MindfulMan]

Been a good day here.
Gave the kids the Legacy 1911's.
There were tears.
Made other arrangements for some AR stuff to go to a lifelong friend.
Good family time.

MM I love that Fender.

Thanks, brother !

Been a fan of theirs for several years.

It might be delayed beyond that. I ordered something today that I previously overlooked, a Hornady headspace comparator. And I've been thinking about ordering an annealer today also.

Annealing is voodoo you'll probably find unnecessary. My opinion. Worth what you paid for it.

Morning all...

Actually slept in this morning. Very nice after having only gotten about 5 hours sleep the night before.

Built the morning fire in the box and set up the house to heat with wood.
Slept as well as possible. Maybe some re-sleep shortly.
Should be a quiet day here. CKW is deep into wrapping paper and Xmas preps.
Football and Interwebs for the mouse.

The kids were down yesterday from Geneva. Son filled the wood box/split a lot of kindling and made a dumpster run for us.
They have sold their house up there and have one waiting down here very close to us. The move should take place 1st week in January. They are excited.

Respectfully, it doesn't sound like voodoo to me. Annealing made sense to me when I researched it. It's supposed to prevent case neck splits over time (extending brass life), promotes more consistent shoulder bumps during resizing and also more consistent neck tension during bullet seating. My understanding is that all ammo manufacturers anneal their brass as do most top level shooters in the world. These are the reasons that factored into my decision to anneal my brass. YMMV.

Good morning folks.

I do admire Spicey’s drive to do things right. I don’t know that I will ever be a good enough shooter to gain an accuracy benefit from the annealing process but I have been having neck tension issues with my 8mm reloads. Annealing those would probably help the issue

Morning folks

Dillon Press is finally in New Haven and out for delivery.

Morn'n gents :bigglassofOJ:

Much more money invested than saved in my considered estimation. Of course, I'm into minute of coyote, squirrel, and deer. And I will never invest the time or dollars you're planning to for a gain of a few thousandths or to win a few bucks on a bet. Not judging, you did you. Just not in my schedule.

Morning everybody

 

[gmcttr]

Of 6 packages being delivered by Fedex that have been sitting in Greenwood for several days, 2 finally have been scanned as on vehicle, out for delivery this morning. A couple that have been there for over a week and 2 newer ones are still sitting. Fedex has become the worst of the worst.

While the spicy one goes down the rabbit hole of reloading I have started looking at improvements for my new .22 pistol. I'm going to purchase the TandemKross Shadow mount to replace the picatinny rail. This will allow me to mount the optic of my choice with the added benefit of lower the optic.
