Ahh, you know us California types. Gets over 72, A/C goes on. Down to 68, heater. Well, not really. Just wanted to make you fellers feel better! About 87 right now. In the garage turning an old jack stand into a rifle rest. A little paint and this may just work like I hope. We'll see.
I'd never thought about using that for a rest. See no reason why not. Thanks for the idea, Tom.

In lieu of current events I felt it necessary to get my troop ready just in case.

Took my pup to the range today and ran her through a couple of combat drills

Darn if she didn't shoot a 490 !

And now, back to my Jamison's

Last night I deprimed 30-06 & 308 MX brass, then placed an order for 1500 pistol bullets from Missouri Bullet. :lol:

Some time ago, I bought a pound of Alliant BE-86 powder for my 1911-A1. Seemed a little snappy, so went back to Unique or Universal. Think I'll try some in the .45 Colt/250gr rnfp bullets. Anyone else here use this powder? Something to fiddle with.

Got the batch of 50, 45/70 , trimmed, sized, flared, wet tumbled.
Ready for primers & the rest. Since the rest of the week is supposed to be blazing hot, reckon that's what I'll be doing.

Hornady 300 gr. JHP, IMR 4198 , 41grs. Works really well for me.

I push the Missouri 405 grain with 36.5 grains of 4198 on my 45-70, have not yet tried a 300 grain bullet yet. I agree, I like 4198. Ive also used H322 that works good, but I think performance is a tad better with the 4198.
