No match : What’d ya do?
« on: January 13, 2018, 06:58:41 PM »
Howdy,
I actually slept till after 8am, almost a miracle. Had a relaxing breakfast an then watched Marshal Andy & Rider of the Silver Screen. Spent the afternoon loading cartridges. Not as good as shooting but a cowboy can’t shoot if he doesn’t have ammo.

Hasta Luego, Keystone

Had a lazy day.

Read for a while, loaded some .45 Auto ammo, looked at NFL games.

I made no significant contributions to society.

On the other hand, I did not cause it any problems, either.

Kitty Kat and I went to some estate sales.  By habit, we stopped at the local Mexican restaurant for lunch.  The wait staff recognized us.  With a panicked look, they ask us how many more cowboys were coming.  We told them not to worry; the cowboy crowd would not be coming until next Saturday.

I started something I should have done years ago.

My brother died about 15 years ago, and among items left to me is a box of ammo. I hadn't looked into it until now, as I knew about what it contained. I reloaded all his hunting ammo, for a 7.7 Arisaka (31-cal Jap), and a .375 H&H Magnum. Our hunting loads were hot, so I would not let someone else fire his loads in a different rifle. So I have pulled the bullets and dumped the powder, leaving the following 7.7 components:

28 primed cases
89 fired cases
27 pulled bullets (.312)
 
In addition, I have the following for 7.7:

56 new Hornady 174-grain Round Nose bullets (.312)
I set Lee reloading dies

I haven't finished pulling the 375 H&H bullets, and do not have an inventory yet.

I need to start cleaning stuff like this out.

Anyone interested?
