The CZickness XLIII prepping for winter.

How are the storms lads..?

I had several dead 90' trees come down in the woods. Two of them on a favorite section of trail. One of those is on and parallel to the trail. It will require a fair amount of work to clear and reclaim the trail.

Surprisingly few limbs on the yard and driveway. Strong winds are still blowing.

The 457 Royal would be sweet if it didn't have that horrible "457 Royal" billboard on the stock.

If a threaded barrel is important to you be aware it is 12x20 threading instead of our 12x28 standard.

Yeah. I agree. There are adapters and all, but it's a bit of a hassle. The next 22 purchase is likely to be the SA-22 Challenge.

I have always enjoyed reloading. I bought most of my basics when I was 16. The amount of variables seem to be unlimited. Every time one thing is change, the process begins again. One cartridge can have 15 or 20 suitable powders, bullets, primers and cases before you even get to seating depths. I have a model 742 in 06 that produced better with the bullet seated deeper than expected. Lots of variables may be an understatement, but it's still fun.

I feel like I've turned my work bench into a science lab. And I like it.

Charcoal, saltpeter and sulfur are the start of a good experiment.

Morning folks!

I headed to breakfast in 61 degree Temps and came home to 38 degrees.

I just started a fire in the box.

Popcorn and movie night tonight. Dad’s turn to pick, but it has to be a Christmas movie. Ok, Gremlins it is.

Isn't Die Hard a Christmas movie?

Maybe Enemy at the Gates ... the Battle of Stalingrad ran through Christmas.

I do remember seeing snow in Enemy at the Gates. That’s enough for me. That qualifies Patton and BoB as Christmas favorites too, right?

 

[Leadeye]

I think Enemy at the Gates actually takes place before Christmas.

How long do the tests take these days to provide results?

CVS has at home tests that give results in 15 minutes. I took 2 to ease coworkers minds while i was sick the last couple weeks and its like a pregnancy test. Except you gotta stick it up your nose 3/4” instead of peeing on it. Kept telling them it wasnt the Rona, just a sick little kid at thanksgiving.

 

[RustyHornet]

I just started Enemy at the Gates. I’ll let y’all know. It’s on Paramount+ right now.

How long do the tests take these days to provide results?

I had to take one to see 38 Special since I'm unvaxxed. ~36 hours to get the results for the send off kind. I think it's called a PCR?

 

[RustyHornet]

Starting in mid September.

Well, now I know where my old SP-01 Tactical ended up.

How old are the kids... Die Hard qualifies as a Christmas movie.

Anyone have experience with the Leopold Deltapoint pro? I'm thinking this might be a good optic for the SW22.

I use the DPP on several items and really enjoy them. I didn't really compare other makes when I bought my first one, but I've always had good luck with Leopold, and just went with it. There's a few different versions, and I don't know all the differences. You can buy just the DPP, or with a riser mount, which is what I've done.

As an SA-22 fan, I've gotta look closer at this one. That. Looks. Cool.

Would be a dream gun in 17HM2 caliber.

Is there a reason to go with something like the Leopold DeltaPoint Pro over something like the Holosun 507C? Especially for something like the SW22? I only ask as I have pretty inexpensive optics on my rimfire handguns (Primary Arms, Weaver, Bushnell) and they seem to work perfectly well. Honestly curious, not bashing anyone else's decision.

Is the SP-01 smaller than the Shadow 2? Love the Shadow 2, but something a little smaller would be perfect for me, I think. I already have a 75 C, but I do like the rail for a light.
