Thanks. I probably won't run anything which requires me to down tune my gun, but I do have a bunch of self cast 155 grainers, and IMR 4227. I also made a custom mold for ~125-130 grain SP depending on the alloy. I have a 170 RNFP too, and expect to have a nicely streamlined ~168 grain mold soon too. (by chopping down the poor Lee 211-230-5r from the base.)
Got in on a 3 for one deal for 150 gr SSTs and loaded a bunch they run hot and nice

Funny this topic comes up. Keep at it Jerry!
I was at the bank yesterday and an older guy was slowly working his way out of his car. I kinda hesitated and he recognised what I was thinking, and told me something like "thanks, but I got it, it just takes me a while."
I congratulated him. My grandfather just turned 95 and has had his neck/back broken or cracked at least 4 times that I am aware of, and has damage to his knee from running into a stancheon on his way to shoot at a zero. Also nerve damage in his feet. He stubbornly insisted on walking even when it hurt. A few years back he moved into a place that is kinda assisted living because it was better for grandma. There were people in their 60s who looked older than him, both in body and mind. He earned at least a couple decades of clear mind and independence. I plan to copy him, and have respect for other people who suffer through and do for themselves.
Don't let retirement get cha. Keep doing things that matter, and things where people need you.
p.s. I would like to hear what secret sauce you have for 300 BO. It's a fun caliber.
150 grain plated flat nose bullet from Xtreem bullets 10.7 grains of IMR 4227 1250 fps 16inch barrel
Had to put in softer spring but these are cheap and fun . I chop and form all my brass. This load runs like butter

REHAB HARD! Don't hurt it, but the quicker you get it all working the better. I have a lot of old damage to this body, but my Grandfather gave me good advice, "If you sit you die." Enjoy that retirement every day you can!
Have a ball and think of all the people who have to go work in the cold. Somewhere today there is a mechanic and helper unloading 20,000# of counterweights by hand. AND IT AIN'T ME !!!!!!!!!
I promise I will not rust out and the wife is holding me back so nothing happens
Work Its over Rated! Boy it felt good saying that!

bad trigger job?

Well on the 27th of Dec I had my right knee repaired. They trimmed the torn meniscus that had folded itself in the joint causing a ton of pain .Cutting short my hunting season
They also said in time I would need a new knee.Thurs it will be a month and I am doing great with little pain.
Over the years my body has gone through ton of hurt.
1. Broken elbow
2. Broken ribs (3 times)
3. Broken nose
4 Broken Back
5. Broken leg and knee.
6. Multiple cuts , stabs and rips of my torso and I still think I am getting little tiny slivers of metal out of my finger nails every now and then.
7. And the now the other knee repair which was probably caused by landing on it hard to many times. in my early years
And then add to that a Massive PE that should have killed me sending me into retirement , last year at this time.
I am retired and a blessed man (Blessed). I start the tread mill next week and will hunt birds next fall ( you can count on that)
P.S. A business I have watched for years just got raided by the state and I do not give a darn any more. I guess I really am retired ( Time to get another coffee while I ponder reloading some 308) hope you all have a great and safe day.

I have shot the PMR30, just to light.
It shot well but felt like a toy. I like a hefty 22 pistol and I think this 22 would feel the same as the PMR.
Most of the guns weight is the ammo , so when you get down to about 10 rounds The PMR would start feeling different.
I think this might be the same for this one. Not saying it would not be a good shooter.

I had to add these two targets. I bought a single box of Eley Match .22 ammo for $19.95 to see if I could get better performance at 200 yards. The left target below was shot with my CZ 455 Tacticool and Nightforce F1 3.5 to 15 scope. The right target was shot with the Win 52 and Unertl 14 power scope from the previous post. Black bull is 1” and outer ring is 2.25”. Not bad for a gun that’s over 80 years old!
Very nice shooting for 22
Love your 52

Got to Paduca and my left knee started giving me big problems lots of pain and could not extend it.
Had to turn back.
Seen my Doctor and tomorrow will get MRI
Looks Like they are going to fix it what ever it is.
Man has this been a crap year but at least I am still here.
Was in a poor mood for a while but knowing what that knee has gone through it was due to give me big problems.
No major swelling so it may not be a tendon . We will know tomorrow.

Well the election crap is over for about a week then it will get stupid again.
Never the less on to the important things in life.

3. We leave for MN at 1:00pm to day.
4. Will be in the fields Sunday with the best bird dogs in MN, Manny and Carlos
5. 2 weeks of hunting Pheasants in MN (yes) and then head to Nebraska.
I love retirement, I just Love it, Wish me luck and you all have a great Nov. I will

The sad reality is when desperate people have nothing they have nothing to lose.
This could get ugly with the drug runners as well. Glad to see us sending men to the border.

Just remember we beat Mexico prior to the war of the north and south , then gave it back to them after keeping the land we wanted.
Which we paid for.
This thing is coming to an end. MAGA

I run my 223 with the adapter and it works great and It snaps out to use saiga mags that have been cut down for the bullet guide.
How ever I just use the ar mags now. Do not know if the adapters are being made or being sold any more.

do what you want to and put off other things that you want to is my rule.
It helps by understanding that the real person you are is not defined by how you have worked to provide for your family.
Having been called out at any hour all my life has allowed me to realize this truth. Some of my friends miss work because that is who they are. I do not miss a thing because I am not my job or what I have done.
I am much more. more than I ever knew.

Some how Boba I do not think G.O.B really cares.
If your 50 and a Marine this should roll of your back like a light rain.

I was on a call in south Naples Fl when the home owner said a airplane just hit a building in NY.
Saw the second plane hit.

So are the guns for sale or not? I do not want them but I am sure someone might
Talking about price is one thing . Getting it is another.
I understand you are upset but I think you have what you asked for.
But I will admit this has put some spice in the forum.

I bet you found that in 20 min.

Maybe a good reperching would help

I have a saiga 223 and run it with the wolf spring as I reload hot. It will stop your problem and smooth out the recoil.
Stay with it ,thread the barrel, put a folding stock on it and convert it to run AR mags and it will be your best gun.
Mine is.
In fact It shoots 556 with no problem.
good luck

Boba if you want to sell them there is a place here to do that.
I fine it hard to believe that you cannot find anything on the internet about your 2 AK s

With all respect to a vet now in the ground . The true Rinos have come out.
From the grave he was a self centered bitter man who would go out of his way to screw the republicans when ever he could.
Trump never would kiss his rear and would call him out for who he was. Most gave him respect for being a vet and that is about it.
He should have left congress when he was told he was sick for the good of his state and country but that is not who he was.
The dems praised him while cursing him at the same time and he never got it.
As for Trump! dredging a swamp to drain it is never a pretty thing. It is ugly and smelly and a lot of times your butt is surrounded by gators. But it is what it is, it has to be all of this if progress is being made

Pheasant hunting in MN

I do have some 125 grain SSTs, it was the first round I ever loaded for 300
I used a Harbor Freight mini shop saw, Lee Dies, running them through twice ,one time with the expander and the second with out. Then I load them just as close to the lands as the mags allow with a light crimp.
Did tread mill for the first time yesterday and I feel great. The wife warned me to not over due it . So it will be her way (Man I love that woman).
