Due to weather, barn owner making changes, waiting on material we knocked off early today so I went to the post office and get some info on tracking. Seems the distribution center I see on tracking is not a USPS facility. So who knows what or where it is!

GunnyMack

Midway ships UPS then transfers to USPS and that's where the order goes cold. I checked tracking again last night, now supposed to be delivered by the 6th. Meanwhile, I ordered another FCD and a box of Hornady Bee bullets directly from Midway as I don't have much faith the first order will ever show...

Trying to get this 218 Winchester out to shoot. Being a tube fed gun I ordered a FCD die off amazon with the thought I would get it fast! HA, the joke is on me as tracking number has it in the same location for 5 days.... Chat with the virtual worthless AI on amazon tells me to contact the seller di...

And another Catholic church was set on fire in Brooklyn yesterday as well. Fully involved 5 alarm fire.

GunnyMack

That's a LOT of cabinets!

We started the 2x6 T&G , it's southern yellow pine( same thing as pressure treated but not treated) and it has more twists, turns, warps than the Snake River. Hydraulic jack to get some of it in place!

What I miss most are magazines that have more content than advertisements.

GunnyMack

Most likely you are correct in a fluke with your chronograph Scott.

GunnyMack

Here is the wash stall. The plywood gets covered with ¹/² " rubber mats.

GunnyMack

Yup, poor technique. She needs an hour of dry firing per day

GunnyMack

Almost as funny as this one

Granted it's not bunny related but...

GunnyMack

That's an interesting question...

Was good to see that HEROs uncle tossed the governor out! She could care less- just a photo op for her

GunnyMack

Gotcha, would have been good to shoot some of the other box under different conditions along with the new box.

GunnyMack

Did you have any of the other box to try as well?
Not sure what powder Winchester uses, of course it's different than we can buy but still a fast load for sure!

GunnyMack

Japan?! Boy did you get blown off course!
Happy Easter Grizz.

GunnyMack

I was excited to get some loaded with a few different powders but remembered I don't have my Lee FCD yet!

GunnyMack

Bullets showed up today! Packaged in 100 count zip top bags and taped folded over then inside a larger envelope folded up into a flat rate box. Seems they have found out a good packing system.
These look very nice!

GunnyMack

Finally a chance to get back to case prepping, even though I annealed the necks, it appears maybe these bullets had some kind of sealant on them, lacquer? Some crud still inside the cases. Ill have to shove a brush into the necks and try to remove the ring. Kind of explains the burning stuff that ca...

GunnyMack

The unknown is what powder is in the factory ammo? It could be some blend we can't get and they are just shown as Xfps so if anybody complained then Winchester could say SEE - this is what they actually are doing. OR maybe just maybe your Redhawk is just the perfect storm of barrel dia, throat, forc...

GunnyMack

Oh my! A Cheezit vampire!! That's hilarious!
No, a Labrador would never do that, food is priority 1.
Boxers are cool dogs, always like them...well there are very few breeds I don't like!

GunnyMack

My property taxes are pushing 10 thousand per year! My auto insurance is about 1500 yearly. Gotta get outta here!!

GunnyMack

' yes I understand it's dark right now, they will get to you after dawn'

GunnyMack

Sounds like false numbers Scott. Sky screens? Bright sun or overcast?

I got 1820±/‐ with 210gr 41 mags with lilgun out of 20" and questioned the load, another test on a different day showed the same.

I'd say test them on a different day.

GunnyMack

My rates went up 75/mo ! I haven't used it since I bought the policy... im going to start shopping I think!

GunnyMack

Sage is 1 of 3 Labs I have LG. She is 10mo old now. Her momma ,Parker grew up here on this forum.,as has Sage. Claro is my right hand and Sage is becoming my left.

They are my best hunting buddies !

GunnyMack

The slide going back into battery will work with a 14lb spring but it will be moving too fast with +p+ to the rear, that's why the 16lb spring.

GunnyMack

I'll say one thing about Rimrock- they say most orders shipped within 4 days - just got shipping/tracking info that my order has been shipped !

GunnyMack

She was there helping me!

20240326_174030.jpg

GunnyMack

Oh I'm going to try the Speer and the Hornady BEE bullets too!

I'm going to play with the cast stuff for fun.

GunnyMack

I could find a use for it Doc!

If I remember correctly, the guy I knew with one said at best 8mpg- I wouldn't want to put fuel in one now-a-days

GunnyMack

I just ordered 200 of their 46gr .225 gcfp to try in this 92 with the 218 barrel.
No crimp groove but I've got a Lee FCD on the way.

GunnyMack

Plus it was a full moon so higher tide than usual. A week either way of the full moon they may have run around.

Heard earlier that the sister of one of our politicians was a chairman for the shipping company and she recently drowned in her Tesla... Conspiracy?

GunnyMack

Went to school with a guy that had a Unimog, awesome machine for sure!

After WW2 Land Rover had front and rear PTOs for operating farm implements.

GunnyMack

So new kinetic puller showed up. Still no joy. Screwed my Lee C press down, seat the bullets 10 thou deeper on RCBS press, swap to LEE with wire strippers and BINGO they slide right out ! When setting the bullets deeper a loud CRACK as the bullets move. I can't believe how much neck tension there is...

GunnyMack

I'm paying 275/ mo now, I've had the policy almost a year and haven't used it yet! Knock wood.
My knees are bothering me, call my primary asking if I need a referral for orthopedic visit. The primary says all the insurance company says call your primary ! Ya cant make it up...

GunnyMack

Elmo, I've done that, even worse.
LG, I've been using shell holder too.

GunnyMack

That's the problem I'm having, not enough bullet to grab with the collet.

GunnyMack

Is a real chore with these OLD Remington 218s! These are old green cardboard boxes from the 50 or 60s I'm guessing. I was able to pull a couple with the collet puller but the necks split. So back to the 40 yr old RCBS kinetic puller. 30 wacks per is just not feasible. I swing a hammer a lot but this...

GunnyMack

Oh we are talking shotgun too! Dillon SL900, 12 and 28 that I swap back and forth. The 28 I bought another powder charger so I wouldn't have to fiddle with- set it and forget it. I also have MEC Grabbers in 12,20,28 and 410 plus a 700 converted for 3" 410 . Now if I had room for all my hulls I'...

GunnyMack

My bench has an RCBS single stage, a Dillon 550. I do most of my rifle stuff on the RCBS, pistol stuff on the 550. However I have run a few thousand 308 through the Dillon without a hitch. I also have one of the small Lee presses for priming , crimping etc. I have it mounted so it's portable if I wa...

GunnyMack

The first rifle I made in school was a 338 WM, then when Federal brought out their 338 Federal I bought one. Both killed elk just as easily as the other. My WM is a tad more accurate than the Ruger Hawkeye but the Federal is MUCH more pleasant to shoot!

GunnyMack

Hopefully Ruger/Marlin will take those deficiencies to heart and jump on whomever does the QC and correct then in future .

GunnyMack

Devils advocate here-
Maybe, just maybe he was a bad guy and he was trafficking guns? I know, I know....

Agreed its most likely he could have been apprehended without gun play.

GunnyMack

The .30 SuperCarry is nothing to scoff at, nor is a .22lr as I don't want to be shot with either one!

GunnyMack

It's gotta be a chamber reamer difference, maybe after a reamer was worn out, I only say this because I'm working on this 92 with a 65 barrel and it doesn't like Winchester 218 brass but will chamber Remington brass fine. I have 2 boxes of Remington factory 46gr ammo, I pulled a bullet to dump powde...

GunnyMack

Winnie and Claro would ride on my quad, was much easier if they rode one at a time but when both would ride I'd be crammed so far forward it was uncomfortable for me! They also ride in the cab of the Ranger, each trying to hang their heads out the side. But what I will never forget seeing was as a k...

GunnyMack

If a French bulldog were to walk that far it would've had to stop just to breathe multiple times!

Impressive hound though !

GunnyMack

Got some of the paneling up this week!

20240321_140945.jpg

Waiting for more of the shiplap pine that somehow wasn't shipped with the rest of the kit so we can finish this job.

GunnyMack

A friend was stationed in Anchorage, well the AFB, Elmdorf? Anyhow he guided on the side for salmon as did a few other airmen. One of his guys was charged and a Beretta M9 was employed- full magazine brought into play hitting the bear with all of them there 9mms and it died very close to getting the...

GunnyMack

I dunno what the final cost is going to be but I know the barn kit was north of $150,000! We have been on this since Nov 29th of last year and they keep adding/ changing things on us.

GunnyMack

Today the tanks for rain water showed up !
All new construction over certain square footage requires these tanks to collect rainwater and slowly leach into the ground instead of running off.
