Chuckle.  Sounds like my kind of people, Ed.

But because I have the brown paper bag (actually a 50 cal BP rifle that I 
made a whole new bolt and firing pin assembly for) I put together Monday 
that I can't take apart for a photo record Tuesday, Wednesday will be spent 
making a .051" allen wrench, turns out the one I have that came out of a 
plastic pocket labeled .050, was actually .048, small enough to muck up the 
sockets in some hardened alloy 0-80 cap screws.

But if I feed it the right bullets, a 300 Gr HPBT swaged and saboted in 
Canada, 80 gr of BH209 & a CCI 209M primer, 3 of the last 5 shots yesterday 
went in one ragged hole, with the chrono showing just shy of 1500 fps 
average.  I enjoy making a $200 sows ear in a plastic stock get all dressed 
up in some nicely figured maple with cherry caps, thumbhole style of 
course, looking good enough to get the ohhs and ahhs at the range, and 
shoot as well as I can.  I think I'll keep it. :)

Cheers, Gene
