It's for me! I've been wanting a bolt gun with irons since the rimfire gathering. Light and inexpensive. Something fun to shoot steel with from a standing position.So which little rascal is Buckwheat for?
All are welcome here with positive thoughts and hearts.”Wrong forum” for me to post but you are correct…what a story. We had couple texts this morning. He is worn out basically. Prayers and positive thoughts should be directed his way. He can use them.
The penmanship of days past. Quill and dip ink wells. Pride in the finished product.Agreed. It also makes my hand hurt just thinking about writing all of that out.
When I was younger, and long before typing took over my form of communication, I loved practicing Calligraphy. I had a set of nice pens and found great joy in the process. Fast forward to present and I can barely keep a straight line or keep sizing and spacing correct. My keyboarding skills have improved though.The penmanship of days past. Quill and dip ink wells.

Old English was a personal favorite. I haven't practiced in a very long time. Would be neat to see daughter take an interest in it. She does enjoy doodling and Art like I did when I was a youngster.That's a great skill, at my old job there was a lady who could write like that and I had her make labels for a lot of the chemicals in an old English script.

True dat. Like pistol shooting.A perishable skill.
Other than stocking up on supplies, I haven't done much with reloading lately.Trimming and gauging 32-40 cases, the Marlins are a little more particular than the Winchesters.
I wonder if that is why SK rifle match is more acurate than Lapua Center-X in my 457. There is more resistance closing the bolt on Center-X and visible deformities on the bullet when compared with the SK. SK has a little resistance and marks the bullets but not near as much as the Lapua does. The SK also feeds smoother from the magazine and I had the best groups with the Lapua with single shot feedingYou get your best accuracy out of a lever gun with cast if the cartridge length is such that you get just a little resistance when it closes all the way. Sometimes it's hard to find that length that works for everything you have in that caliber.
I get a similar issue with 44-40 in revolvers, only the bullet diameter is the problem there.
I think you're describing the opposite phenomenon? Maybe excessive damage to the lead using the Lapua?I wonder if that is why SK rifle match is more acurate than Lapua Center-X in my 457.

Looks like a great day!What a fun filled, fantastical day. Big birthday cookout for my mother's birthday today, as well as the birth of the greatest nation on earth.
These smiling faces make all the work worth while. I hope everyone had such joy as well. Happy freedom times from ours to yours

Maybe, I have read that the match chamber on my rifle is made to minimum SAMI specs for 22 LR and to expect lead 22 bullets to fit tight. Also read not to use high velocity rounds as the case is very slightly longer and can be deformed by the chamber.I think you're describing the opposite phenomenon? Maybe excessive damage to the lead using the Lapua?
