    Finished cleaning and sorting a bunch of 223, 300BO, and 9mm brass. Got about fifty 9mm primed and ready to load.
    Don't forget to try some 00 buck in the 8mm Mauser case mouth. Supposed to be accurate to 100 yards and way cheaper

    Went to the range to confirm zero on a rifle I haven't shot in a while. Got confused and forgot the click for this scope was 1/2 MOA vs.1/4 on one that I was working with last week. For the life of me could not figure out why and POI wasn't where I was expecting (except for the dude behind the trigger). DOH! :confused::D

    Went to @oneshot's place yesterday evening and had a good chat with him while we modified a single shot 12 gauge.

    Now I just need to figure out how to keep the wood forend from popping off so easily.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    I’m not sure if it would work for you but I’ve got an ancient 410 ss that has a folded piece of paper under the forearm to snug it up.

    I ended up banging the post that attaches the wood to the barrel a little straighter. Its much better now. :)

    Loaded up more test loads for my friend's Shiloh Sharps.

    Researched 7.62x39 125gr load data and loaded up 6 different loads with 125gr Ballistic Tip .308 bullets. While I don't plan on hunting using the RARR 7.62x39, since I had the components on hand, I thought why not see if I can get an accurate (with nice velocity) hunting type load worked up. Goal is accuracy + higher velocity than a Blackout with the same weight bullets. Trying AA1680 and IMR4198 powders.

    Ruger factory in N.C. called me today. They are sending 2 complete AR pattern magazine well assemblies to convert my and a friend's RARR 7.62x39 rifles from Mini 30 mags to AR mags. We both have several 7.62x39 AR mags already. Including shipping, it works out to $23.95 for each assembly. The reason they called me was that they couldn't finalize my request last week until they completed their year-end inventory of parts.
