Went to the range. [:)]
Got to zero a new Leupold on my Ruger 77 in .243, then zero the Springfield Armory scope on my varmint AR, then I played with my LEGP for a while, and then I tested a new hand load for my Ruger 77 HB .308. Worked great! Federal Premium brass, 45.5 grains of Winchester 748, a 165 gr Sierra GameKing, and a CCI Magnum primer. Shot 1/2" group at 200 yards, and killed a few bowling pins. [:)] Then I tried some factory loaded Federal Premium, same bullet, same general velocity(2700 fps), but Federal seats the bullet about 3/10" deeper than I did in my hand loads, and it didn't shoot half as good. I was major league disappointed. I was hoping for at least similar performance. [:(] |

I found a cave near an old Japanese bunker and spent the next five hours exploring it. Probably went at least a mile. There was a considerable amount of ancient pottery along the way, which was more than likely used by the locals during the U.S. invasion. They do not enter caves otherwise, as they are a superstitious people.
Much of the time was spent crawling through underground rivers and through cracks that I could barely fit through. I lost my spare batteries somewhere on the way, but was able to find them. There were a few caverns with a twenty foot ceiling, but mostly I was hunched over or on my belly. |

My daughter & I went shooting with a couple of .22's. She took her Rossi pump & I took my Stevens Visible Loader. Shot up a dozen eggs, shot some small branches off of a couple of tree's & picked off some small rocks. Reactionary targets are much more fun when your 8 years old.
Then went to a b-day party for my nephew. All in all a fun day. ColtShorty GOA KABA COA JPFO SAF NRA "I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted and I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people and I require the same from them." |

Recovering... from yesterday, also a beautiful day.I am part of the "Nostalgia Days Committee" in our town, here in north east Illinois. spent most of the end of the week getting the town ready for the 15th Annual car show and cruise. 350 cars 37 classes, and we close off the main road thru the middle of town for a cruising good time. 350 hot rods rolling thru town with no other traffic. about 30 cops and officials and not a single ticket issued for the tremendous burnouts, many, many, burnouts. A smoking good time, I and many others with high horsepower cars wait all year for this chance to taunt the law,(they love it as much as we do)

Four rounds of trap in the morning. Unexceptional scores but a good time anyway. Two hours of Sunday paper digestion. Then up to the mountains with The Little Woman, a Nylon 66, 500 rounds of ammo, the portable BBQ, three dogs, two steaks and a well-primed cooler.
Not as interesting as caves near Japanese bunkers but it'll do . . . |

This morning, after walking my buddy, Sarge, (Yellow Lab), I went to the range- Shot my 1861 Springfield musket (.58 cal). Made some big holes! Then, since it was hot and muggy, jumped on the jet ski for a little water fun. Lots of bikinis out today....[:P]
