One thing I'll mention to look out for when reloading 223 is after being rezised the case will stretch so you will need a set of dial calipers to measure the overall length (OAL). If you exceed it the loaded shell may not be able to be chambered or close the bolt. You will need a case trimmer to trim the case back a few thousands. Now after going through this procedure a few times and the case stretching over and over the case becomes thinner (imagine holding a piece of taffy between two hands and pulling it apart) and this always seems to happen about 1/2" up from the base. Sometimes you will see a ring appear but usually not and when you fire the shell it comes out in two pieces. I've never seen it happen to any other case except 223. There is no magic number but I seem to remember having to trim the cases back after being resized the 3rd time.

I'm going to make that trip one of these years. I used to go to Gila Bend a lot which was always a lot of fun. -
The Wolf is around 45 cents a round I'll send you a link.

The news said teachers are quitting in some places rather than risk getting Covid.

They have their place. I remember when you first came on here and posted 20X's a day and asked a million questions and watched you grow up on here. One day when you stop and think back that it's not's nearly all about you you just might be humbled and a little less arrogant. Maybe your divorce that we all saw coming could have been averted but I doubt you will learn from it. Take it from some who has been there and done it you have a lot of growing up to do both in your personal and professional life.

That's cool I have never seen a black one. I have a few in green and they work very good until they get moisture built up on the inside and you have to swap out reeds.

Gotcha. So I am guessing that these also didn't need to have a Serial Number on them then.

It's been too hot for me to go out scouting. -
That's impressive.

A case plus of shells and three chokes. CI, CL and I believe Mod. This is a very nice shotgun, really light with nice wood. I have had it for three years and bought it from a fellow CWT member. $825 $50 goes back to Amanda for running CWT and $100 goes Mikes (Hoghunter) Family.

I'm glad you posted this. A friend who isn't a gun owner per sey was asking me if I knew a Smith in the Old Pueblo who could do some machining on one. He didn't exactly know what needed to be machined his friend told him what parts to buy. I explained to him that people I knew who has bought parts and assembled them never needed to have machining done so I'm curious as to what is everyone needeing to have machined exactly.

I heard Nature Girl just arrowed a 92" at 15 yards 5 miles from downtown Kaycee.

I cleaned up my inbox, it was probably full.

Damascus steel making dates back almost 2000 years and is very interesting in of itself. It was even used to make gun barrels. but those barrels are not suitable for the higher pressures of smokeless powder.

Keep at.

My son has a 12 gauge Tristar and has never had a single problem with it. Very reliable.
