Upcoming range report.

With all this at home time now, I've been doing all sorts of stuff around the place. Yesterday I wiped down all my firearms with some "Rem-oil" and got to looking over my Ruger No.1B in 30-06. It's fitted with a Leupold VX II 3-9x40 matte finish scope. I haven't shot that rifle in probably 6-7 years.
That is about to change. As soon as this bug clears out and we're all given the ok, it's going to the range. I have some 165 and 180 loads for it, all handloads. Now, I'm on countdown. This is indeed a Happy Friday! More to follow. And soon I hope.

Jim, indeed it is. I just need to get it out of the safe and to the range or desert.
Thanks again Jim.

The only 06 I have is an old 1903 action with aftermarket barrel and a Timney trigger.
I have dies and bullets but have never loaded a round.
Mine like yours hasn't been out in a number of years.
