It has been more like April early May here, WET. The past 2 days have been cooler, but the weather liars are forecasting warmer air this week. I am sure I will have to mow again this week if the rains stop. I see the leaves are beginning to change also. It has been good weather to sit inside and reload. After my last range day I had a pretty good pile of brass to run thru. I recently purchased some red rouge compound to treat my tumbling media. Which is 50/50 walnut hulls and corn cob. I have treated with several teaspoons of this red compound. (Yes it will get on your hands.) This with a 1/4 cup or so of mineral spirits. Two hours in the tumbler and the dirtiest of my brass is sparkling. Not 3 hours with this solution and 2 more hours with another. This is available thru B and B supply if you need anymore info contact me. I am not getting paid for endorsement but happy to share the info. I got the primers out and began sizing and repriming. Sorting as I went along. Getting thru the pile and charging the powder in them I went to seating. Hour later, oh crap! I'm out of bullets. This is in some case a bigger tragedy than being out of beer. I still have primed brass ready to go. Why is it I have plenty of powder, primers and brass. Why does only one thing run out at a time. My case usually primers. It's still crappy out, it's now dark and the range is closed even if I wanted to brave the cool air and moisture. The local gun shops are are all closed for the day. I probably could to get to the local Box Store (the ones with the geese) but it has lost it's appeal to me. They never seem to have what I am looking for. I won't be wasting the fuel tonight.
In the mean time I have ordered the Bi pod for the new carbine. The other add on's have been arriving and make this a fun project. I will post pictures soon. I also see a local shop has been putting on or sponsoring a new Sunday event in the area. I think I will go observe next weekend, http://www.hatfieldsgunsmithing.com/bowling_pin_shoots_Q4TI.html One of the Cowboy clubs in Maryland would sometimes have a impromptu event after their Cowboy match. Little bit different than the thundering smoked filled type of event I am use to. It's a shooting sport all the same. I think I still have some black powder .45acp rounds left over ;) Lets hope for nicer weather this upcoming week. So we all can get out to our favorite shooting places and enjoy the sport. till then I guess there's football. Oh yeah and beer
