Gun Owning Smokers

Reloading is a good idea. You can make better ammo at home than you can buy, if you're willing to put in the time and effort. Weather its cheaper or not depends on how much you shoot and how persnickety you get. However re-loaders are facing the same shortages, only it's primers, lead, powder and brass.

I'm wondering if the ammo shortage and hording will slow down now that that bill didn't pass in the US. Here's hoping!

The .45 acp I buy is actually made here in Canada by a company that can, and will, reload for you. I'm getting it for about half what I'd pay for factory loads. Since all I'm doing is shooting dinger targets and paper with it, I buy the plain lead semi-wad cutter ammo as it's cheapest

Well I have been busy with work and rebuilding my computers so haven't posted much sorry.

I did get some time to work out a 223 load using IMR 4320, 23.1 grain and nosler varmageddon 55 grain my gun likes that load and I am happy.
IM still collecting parts to build my 300 black out so haven't worked on any loads for that yet.

Now I see that archangel is making a stock for the Mosin Nagant, I am really wanting to play with one of them.

Love that stock!

I haven't made it to the range yet this year

It's been a hectic and busy spring for me and the few chances I've had, something came up at the last minute. I should be able to go this Sunday. I so need to sight my main hunting rifle in now that the replacement scope is on it and of course, I need to get my handguns dirty.....

I have to swap around some scope's my self then resight them in, picked up a Nikon Prostaff I like for my 300 WM.
I skipped the range day this afternoon it was just to hot.

My AR went to the range without me its being used to teach a young kid how to shoot.
I built it to be used/abused so if it comes back in one peace im happy.

They're pretty tough so I'm thinking it made it home in one piece! LOL

I'm hoping to take my son to the range with me on Sunday. He's been staying with us this last week. He moved into the big city 2 hours away and then landed a great job here in town. He was living in Slave Lake, AB about an hour and a half west of here before moving to Edmonton. I'll be glad when they send him out on his first shift next Tuesday. I love him but I've gotten very used to having no kids in the house.........LOL

I've never taken him to the range before and it'll be great to share that with him.

Yea the AR made it home safely.

Im in the middle of building a blackout now, but the wife cut my spending down for a while so ill complete it next month.

I did pick up a 38 special derringer the other day but that peace of junk went back to the shop today, while I was at it I dropped of a old 32 revolver that needed a new firing pin and decided I wanted to change the sights on my ruger P89.

I did get in some range time yesterday. still working on a load for my 300 win mag that I like but i have to put that on hold while I start making some 300 AAC rounds to get ready for when the wife lets me order the upper parts.
