What's that thing with the 4 brass straws? Some sort of fancy scorpion bowl?
Nevermind that. I thought I saw a mason jar in there somewhere.

Yep, very true. Until the last couple years, I did all work on our cars including internal engine work.
Dakar, there's a Happy Meal with your name on it if you can beat 2 guys older than you in the JCG match.
Hell, I can still work on my engine. I was just adjusting the choke, idle, and mixture for the cooler weather.

holy mackerel, Mjr...I ought to hire you to build my 57 Chevy 210 I've been sitting on for the last 5 years! Your Pontiac is about as clean as they come! I would expect nothing less from you, for the record.
Good time. Who took the Garand medals today?
So i have several variants of "M1 safe"smokeless powders 1/8 of a pound here 1/4 pound there and such.
Im thinking of running a mixed bag of loads with the various powders.
Think i have 4 powders i just want to use up.
The plan: load up 8 rounds of each powder and get as close to the same velocity per published load data.
I dont know if i will shoot them randomly or in batches ? I also dont know if I will do this with 30-06 or 308?

You're going to use those for your rounds for the match?
Do you want to borrow some powder mac? I think I have enough where you can make 35 rounds from the same lot

I want to have a little fun at the possible expense of my score.
I'm going to run 4 different powders as close to same velocity as I can and see how much of a impact on my score it will have.
I have more than enough powder to load for some time. I have several partial 1lb jugs. Tired of looking at them. Heck I might even use up the random primers sitting in the cup on the bench
The 308 is going to be shot with nosler 168s at around 2600fps with Varget.
Dakar, that's code for Mac is still kicking our ass...
Come on now you guys get to practice and I give up so many points in off hand.
I managed a silver with a 270 last match.
Honestly the two things that brought my score up is my Rx lens in my shooting glasses and switching to a center hold.
I may have to switch to a center hold. Did it take some time to get used to it?

oh...i still don't expect to beat him
i like how he calls it 'having a little fun' but it's more like 'seeing how many ways he can make us feel like turds for losing to him even though he handicapped his own score to give us a chance'
SCREW YOU GUYS!
Just placed a order for 155gn MTACs , Lapua Brass and the most expensive powder i could find!
I should pick up at least TWO points in off hand!
on that note i asked the only machinist I know about making some solid copper bullets for me.
I got the very "not interested" goo goo eyes.
That's kinda like a 77-0 football game, and the winning coach is still calling for deep-ball pass plays. Or maybe like Ali standing over and taunting a knocked out opponent?
Geez, I already committed to shoot the JCG with that ancient beat to death CMP Winchester loaded with crummy old surplus ammo. And after that I'm going to shoot MM with my slapped together, home built M14 of unknown performance.
Little more than a week away. I have some 10 round CMI M14 mags coming to me, thinking they may be better for Off Hand than the USGI 20's.
