Good morning, Sam. Looks frosty out there today.

According to the thermometer in my car, it was 30 when I went out for my paper & coffee at 6:30.

 

[SEIndSAM]

Any plans for the weekend???

 

[GregD]

Looks like I might get in 1 last bicycle ride. But, not much for the weekend really.
Anything good for you?

Nothing planned really. Was gonna go to Indy and take my oldest daughter to lunch, but Saturday is the AU homecoming and she has plans there. I did luck into some .22 at the Cabelas in Green Bay and Milwaukee last week, prob gonna hit the range for awhile Sunday.

 

[SEIndSAM]

Had to put a new scope on my Appleseed rifle back in Sept and have only had it out to zero once. Want to put some rounds downrange to check my zero.

 

[GregD]

.22's you lucky dog. It does look better on the ammo shelves.
but, it seems like .22s are the hardest to get.

 

[SEIndSAM]

Plus, I'm about 60 rounds short of having 500 empty .223 cases. I like to reload in lots of 500, so I will put at least a couple mags downrange with the AR.

Nothing says you can't reload 460 rounds, it's just an OCD thing, I like to have even 500 round lots.

 

[GregD]

And nothing says you can't just fire 60, more fun !

Yeah, lucked into 2 bricks, one winchester and one federal. Kept the federal and gave the winchester to a friend that was down to his last box of 50.

I have more, but that's my stash for future Appleseeds. My wifes Marlin really likes CCI Minimags, so I always save them.

 

[GregD]

I think that sooner or later the horders will have their credit cards maxed out and us shoots will have ammo.

 

[SEIndSAM]

Yeah, it's getting better. I think by the first of the year we should see it on shelves again.

 

[GregD]

Sure hope you are right. I got a new rifle to work on this winter and hope to try it out this spring. But, if nothing else it will be a fun progect of the snowy days.

 

[SEIndSAM]

What's your project rifle??

 

[GregD]

A Savage FV-SR. Nothing fancy, just something to work on this winter. I spend too much time reading Rimfire Central.
I find builds that fun.

 

[SEIndSAM]

I haven't got anything for a winter project, other than reloading. Should probably start looking for something, just haven't thought of it until you mentioned it??

 

[GregD]

For me, when the winter is bad and snowy, working on something for the spring makes it a better day.

 

[GregD]

Looks like everyone is gone again

 

[SEIndSAM]

Yeah, it's been pretty dead in here since some of the oldertime PDubs have moved on.

Shadow & Westside was still visiting, but haven't seen hide nor hair of them this week??

 

[GregD]

It is strange not seeing Shadow here. Hope he is just busy.
