Default A good couple days

Things have been going along nicely for me. The new twins are doing great, my GM 54 barrel has arrived and I just found out that I was the winning bidder on an unfired .45 cal T/C Hawken Cougar. Can't wait to get home and try them out.

Life is good!

So, how soon can we expect a range report on that new rifle? We don't want to have to reprimand you for delinquency.

Great news about the kids.
I would love to own one of those Cougars but I relly don't need one and it's simply not in the budget right now. It would be nice to see pictures of it if you don't mind.

Very good news. You need to celebrate and go out and shoot them rifles. Make some noise!!

I would love to guys but the rifles are either enroute to or in PA and I am in FL with then new boys. But not to worry, the report will come out ASAP. In the mean time, instead of swabbing bores, I will be wiping tiny butts and changing diapers.

Just remember to put Johnson's powder on those butts, not GOEX. You don't need any more than 75 or 80 grains. And yes, it's absolutely necessary to swab between those loads.
