So right out of our neighborhood is a carpool parking place or was... a guy is always out there in the afternoon selling fresh vegies/corn. In 5 years, I have never stopped in.
An old pal stopped by yesterday out of the blue.
A friend of all the BILs from school days. Decent fellow.
I was done with Honey Do list and having a large iced tea at my reloading bench.
Hadn't seen him in a while and he had never seen our new home. So, the tour began, ending back at my bench after showing off my 6ft shelf of ready to load brass.
He said he had something for me, dashed to his truck and came back with a box and a half of Barnes Varmint Grenade 36gr bullets for .223.
He said he could not hit anything with them and wasn't sure what to do with them. He has a slew of ARs - I have not one, yet. Mini 14 guy here, for a long time, decades.
I've never loaded 36gr balls in .223. I usually go the other way, 68gr or 72gr or something.
I looked them up, never seen them before. They are NOT cheap! Garbage for BC, but "grenades" on the label. I have play work to do!
