    I've been ramping up from my reloading hiatus. Well, doing prep anyway. I have a shit ton of rifle cases (for my meager needs) primed and ready to go even though the stash is pretty deep.

    That is how i feel when I shoot 338lm.
    I went to 100yd range to zero in at 100 (i like the zero stop @100), but had too much cant (2/3 deg) from ring and the base. What a waste of ammo. I had to go home and change the cant on the ring to +1/6 deg, and still have 1/3 deg cant from the mount totalling 1/6 deg total cant.

    Much like name that tune, I can zero (if on paper) in 2 shots with a stand.

    But wasting ammo is much more fun.

    I underpay every year, this year wasn't as bad but still hate writing an $8k check.

    If I pay that little, I'll celebrate.

    I try to replenish my shooting supply but not quite managing with the occasional store offerings of 300 blk 220gr. I have enough brass now so maybe ought to buy a die set. But then will the components be available?
    Or maybe I should shoot 5.56 for awhile....ah but the .300 is so much fun.

    While drinking our morning coffee we watched a mink run up the river bank over the snow. A rare sighting we might have missed if weren't for the snow.

    Outside a while later, I followed fresh bear tracks down the driveway and through the yard. Big bear, it stopped at the electric fence, backed away and headed through the meadow downstream. This bear knows the fence.

    Funny thing is, I failed to energize the fence the night before. We got lucky.

    $19.5K to the Feds for us this past year. Getting about $2K from the state just doesn't take the sting out of it.

    2021 will also likely be painful.

    ...but at least I'm getting so much value for the bucks sent to the Feds.

    We don't have enough deductions to exceed the higher standard. Single home, little debt. Weird is that i got $232 back from the state. WTF? Our AGI was ~$20k less last year than prior years. Still paid the fed ~$32k. Ouch. I'm probably supporting some liberal d-bag antifa fuckwit.

    I have a rcbs 2 die set AND dillon powder funnel collecting dust, if interested. I think there's a crimp die with the other 2 dies.
