Hello All,
I haven't posted in awhile as you can tell, I mentioned previously about starting to make videos to supplement the blog with content, well it seems that I need a modern computer for video editing. I am working on purchasing a new computer to aid in video editing, but then I see something shooting or reloading related that I need to purchase. I have been creating content to use for the videos on the blog, so I will be well stocked.
Recently I have gotten into woodworking, mainly just small items for around the house, no commissioned pieces yet. I have been tossing the idea around on making some bullet trays out of some exotic hardwoods in various calibers and round counts. I am thinking of making 50 and 100 round loading blocks, but I was also wondering about a 10 or 25 round loading block for load development.
Shooting and Reloading have been on the back burner for me it seams lately, I have hit the range a few times this past year and went hunting a few times for deer and pheasant. This year I am optimistic that I will have a better year shooting and reloading. By the end of this coming week I will be prepping for our yearly sage rat shoot down in Eastern Oregon.
There has been lots of chat around work with the AR guys about the 244 Valkyrie, I have not dug into the ballistics on this round yet, but a coworker has pulled the trigger on a new upper for is AR. I took a quick glance at it's performance at long ranges with it's heavier side bullets. The drop is less than a similar grained bullet fired from a 223, which grabbed my attention as new round for some 300/500 yard matches at my local range.
Still looking for a 17 HMR, haven't nailed down the one I want yet, I really like the Browning T-Bolt, but can't justify dropping that cash on a rimfire, I believe I will be going with an Ruger American, I am not sold on the savages yet, well I take that back, I just went over to the Savage site to cruise the 17's and I see there new B 17 F left handed rifle, wow that is a clean, good looking firearm from savage. Time will tell, but a new Savage may be coming up on the blog soon.
All for now,
Rex
