Default Beautiful!

Really nice out today! 50* + this kind of weather must be taken advantage of!

Got my .58 Hawken all ready to roll!

I think some 100 yarders are in order for some fun play time. IF its not to muddy out back.

Best enjoy the weather while you can. I'm currently in FL and its about 70 here. But I'm hoping that PA cools down and we get some snow for our late primitive season after Christmas. Then it can warm back up if it likes!

29 here and finally getting some snow. I am usually ice fishing by now. Lake is still open...driving me nuts. That's the reason why I am on here. I bet most hope for ice.

uugh! Ive already ditched the jacket, now its time to ditch the long sleeve and shoot in a t shirt! Man is it warm out. 56* and barely a breeze!

58 is making me smile today! Im just shooting plinker loads but shes printing nicely at 100!

Im reloading some 100gr loads now to try out.

I did find an interesting set up. If you ever have dry patches, take a look at the matieral. Notice how one side is coarser than the other? I took 3 shots with the smoother side and about a 3" group. Two more shots with the rougher textured size gave me 2 shots touching! 2 more shots gave me under a group well under 2" from what I could see in the binos. I'll take pics before I tape up the holes when I go to reshoot.
