This will probably get nuked because it doesn't involve smog, muggers or irate cops...but what the H, it's how I live.
My day started at 2:00 am. I had the 1911 on and got out of the house at 2:30 and stopped at the Mechanicsville 7-11 for coffee and cigarettes.
I did make the clerk nervous because he was counting his drawer and no one else was around and it was a quarter to three. Didn't say anything, just looked scared.
So on to work. I was hauling a grader box and stopped for breakfast on the way at Chula Junction. It didn't phase the woman there. I got to the farm just before daybreak and changed to the BFR. Graded one of my roads (about a mile long).
Then I went to the range for a while. It was load testing morning. I had over 200 rounds to test in three calibers, two bullet weights each and several different powders.
I hate to admit it, but the 45/70 with 400 grain JBSP's at 1900 fps, gave me a pounding.
The .308 was next at 100 yards and it went without a hitch, then the 25/06 That needed some distance. I shot a sight in group at 100 yards
Not great, but OK and I shot them in a hurry. This is the hundred yard range.
To get two hundred an fifty yards, I had to move a portable stand to the treeline
After testing everything I had with the 25/06, mu best 250 yard group..
I'll take it any day because I can't shoot worth a damn anymore:X
On to Victoria. I saaw one Cop there. I was taking pictures and he slowed down enough to wave. Tough place:lol:
Back to the farm and back to the BFR.
I put up a new stand in some newly planted pines.
And since I have an appointment tomorrow in Richmond, came back to the burbs.
This is how I spend my days!
