Made it to the range yesterday
« on: March 02, 2010, 07:18:42 AM »
Tried to get to work yesterday but I-75 was a parking lot.   :(  As I was sitting there in traffic I looked at the clear blue sky and remembered the temp was going up into the 50's.  So I called in to the office and told them I wasn't coming in and turned around and went home.   ;D

I spent the rest of the day at the range.  Beautiful day... had a great time.

This morning I get up and it's snowing so hard I can't see a hundred yards.   :o  Right now I'm looking out my office window and it's still snowing heavily!  'spose to last all day...  :(

I ain't never seen wx like this down here...  :-[  Must be El Ninyo... or global warming... or George W. Bush...    :-\

Now why would you blame GW Bush?
After all it was Al Gore who told us about Climate change and if it were not for him we would not be having it.
Wish I could go to the range.
I need some big bore time.  OK Medium bore mag time.  
I think the lack of shooting 200+ grain projectiles at 2500 FPS or more is effecting my brain.
I think this weekend is going to be Sporting clays.  
I guess I should shut up I just returned a week ago from AZ and a successful Javilina hunt.

Democrats are not bad people.
The liberal Pinko Commie bed wetters that have taken over their party are evil.
IF JKF were alive today he would be labeld a right wing looney by the media for suggesting tax cuts end ressessions and they are the answer to lowering unemployment.

Sunday was my sunny day, a little cool, and some wind but a good day at the range.  Some loads were good, but realized the scope had a slight cant to it.  Next batch of experimental loads thought they were escaping a shotgun barrel.  So much for that lot, will shoot them to make sure the rifle is on paper than switch to real loads.

I pulled out an old box of mixed 300 Savage loads, factory 180-grain Silvertips, and some 180 Remington C-L.  I have no plans on using 180-grain bullets on deer so I fired them to see what they would do on paper.  Suddenly the rifle was shooting better than with those green pointed bullets.

Wife decided that today was a good day to clean the deep freezer down in the garage and inventory what we have.  For a retired guy this was almost like having a job, she did her part and I had the appropriate level of supervision.

Raining today what I appreciate because winter rains flush the toilet in August.

The time changes next weekend.  I will have time to make it to the range after work!!!! ;D

I've got some developed loads for my 45-70 and 357 to the tune of 500 each.  Should be able to make some noise anyway.........

Yes, I think there will be a spring. However, you couldn't prove it by me just a few days ago.

Take em when you can get em, Richard.

I Love a day at the range by myself, but my range is in my yard so its by myself if I want it to be.
