Good morning,  Montanan, MT_Sourdough, dpe, Southpaw, Forster, Atlaw, pab1, newstart2k, Skunk, kitchawan kid, lurker, CJ, Bilmac,thxmrgarand, Syncerus, Mcwoodduck, Brennemanj83, Old Shooter,TY22, Canon6, burntmuch, Grimjim, CJ, Bilmac, rparsons934 wis_sharpshooter, BBF, Blue Duck, billy_56081, hunt-m-up, Gun Runner and Chilachuck.

Well a nice day here in Cut Bank to day.  After a visit to the Dr. for a Tetnus shot and pills for muscle spasm...scratched my arm pretty bad on  fence out gopher hunting and roll down a 60 degree slope rock chuck hunting...Dr reminded me I need to take things at a slower pace now that I am over 60, yeah  yeah give me the pills.  When he did my check up he hit me in the knee with his little rubber hammer. You should have seen the look on his face when he tapped my fake knee....

Rounded up all the 577/450 Martini Brass I could fiund and started sorting, sizing and priming.  I have about 175 cases...I lost three cases to neck splits...that hurts when you pay $4 to $5 a cases.  I do have some cases formed from 24 guage brass shotgun shell, but  I only lost one of those.  They still cost 80 cents each.

I have to run to the range tomorrow and test fire some targets with the these  loads.  These are some pretty cool targets that Southpaw whipped up for me.. i'll post some pictures tomorrow.
