Have you purchased anything gun related in the last three days?

Went to the FFL/LGS today and picked up another Tisas Tanker 1911 along with a couple other used 1911 transfers that came in.
But one cool thing I did see was this guy picking up a new Marlin .45-70 Trapper outfitted with Ranger Point Precision furniture. It looked blasphemous and marvelous at the same time. This is a close approximation of what it looked like, but it looked much much better in person than the pictures show. Start the gnashing of teeth in 3,2,1...:fire:

I don't know, to me it just seems wrong plasticizing a lever action. what would the Duke say?

RCBS neck size only die for the 7.62x54R cartridge. Got it from Graf & Sons. Never saw one for that round and I like them better than just backing off a full length sizer die. They seem to work great on rimmed rounds, as I discovered back when I did a lot of 22 Hornet and 303 British. They all headspace on the rim and it seems you can just keep neck sizing them and they still fit the chamber of the same gun easily. I like using brass fireformed to my chamber and old mil-surps, and old 22 Hornets, (Savage Mod. 23-D) all seem to have chambers that are slightly on the generous side of the specifications.

My co-worker's husband sold me his reloading gear.
  • A Lee Breech Lock Challenger press and related gear,
  • Lee shell holder set, primer set, case trimmer set, primer pocket cleaner, chamfer tool and set of.223 dies,
  • A sealed pound each of Bullseye, CFE223, IMR 4320 and Win 748,
  • A digital micrometer and scale,
  • 15 pounds of .223 brass and four pounds of mixed pistol brass,
  • Lyman's Reloading handbook - 49th edition
  • a box of PMC Bronze 9mm,
  • Two nice rifle cases, and some other odds and ends.
Not bad for seventy-five bucks... .
 
I just had 2 boxes of 150 gr Hornady Interlocks #3031 delivered yesterday.

I was only going to get one box but free shipping over 49 bucks piqued my interest.

These are for my National Ordnance 1903A3.

These bullets printed sub minute at 200 yards so the old 1944 Remington 2 groove barrel still doing ok.

The gun is actually a POS parts gun gifted to me.
I just like it and love shooting it after having the headspace checked.

This rifle will be my old mans / young kids early rifle doe season gun of choice for Oct 20.

The .44 Henry will just have to wait
