I'm getting things in order for my will. I asked a shooting /hunting buddy what he'd like to have of my belongings when the time comes. He said he had fond memories of my m96 swede. Cool, he appreciates it! No collector value, I put a new surplus barrel and a reciever sight on it.
While it shot 2 or 3 moa from the bench, it somehow seemed better than that offhand with a sling. Potato sized rocks at 175 were almost a sure thing. It really liked Sierra 140 btsp over imr4895 or 4064.
I'm guessing it was the balance and the ridiculous sight radius .
You'd laugh at my method of cutting the shoulder of the barrel for headspacing . It was similar to the Khyber Pass gunsmiths with hand tools, but it worked well.
There isn’t a reloading forum, so I’ll put this here? (Maybe it should be in the Ammo forum?)
I still can’t always get primers locally. I think I can still get Cheddite 2000. I’ve seen some info that they are slightly ‘hotter’ than Winchester 209’s, but consistent and within the normal spread for W209’s. I’ve also heard that they don’t like ball powders. Anybody know about any of this??
I want to do a light trap load for my daughter-in-law. Maybe a 1 oz load? Even a light 1 1/8 load might be good. The factory 1 1/8 are beating her up, so I’m looking to help her with recoil. The problem is if I go all the way down to 7/8 oz, she might as well shoot 20 ga

Doctor thought I might've had a stroke or two. MRI showed no brain damage and ultra sound of carotid was fairly clean.
I was afraid I'd have to take myself off the road. I make too much to give that up! Times aren't as good as they were, but it's still very profitable. I just got set back 50k at the beginning of the year from a catastrophic engine failure and couldn't recoup the cost by selling my tractor.
As near as I can see, my tractor, trailer, and myself are good to go for a while.
Thank you, Father!
