    Just a warm reflection of the life of a 110 .

    I don't expect a lot here . I mean this isn't one of those negative , it just won't work , what am doing wrong posts .

    Do you have that one that you spent years finding? Then you just loved it even though it was a picky whinny prema donna , the journey to success made it worthwhile. Then opportunity knocked and you "fixed" all of the labor intensive bugs with a new barrel and an old favorite cartridge?

    Well I did with an old Savage 110LH , when that meant Left hand High grade . Now I have this weird collection of stuff I used for the 1-8.5" 06' barrel that demanded match prep brass that wasn't RP or FC . I measured the twist a dozen times and yes Savage did build at least one . It's a much less fussy 7×57 now . Grampa's M70 won't shoot the 200 spitzer ownself or 311-230 gr NOE and neither will chamber in the orphan 760 . I'm not likely to send them away, I'm keeping the barrel at least for now also .

    The ownself bullet required enhanced lube grooves so I bought a canlure tool .

    I made an improvised flash hole deburring tool , just for that rifle and as it turned out kind of exclusive to those 50 cases.

    Special load data , 2 dozen targets and a whole summer of first 5 shots over lays on one target , the 06' sizer with the .312 expander ball still in it . The odds and ends list goes on after the 25 yr romance (and heartbreak , hair pulling, education , aggravation , cussing , discovery , elation , wonder ) and realizing in my last trek for a load that that the barrel was just ready to either retire or be set back and rechambered . Who has an 06' that takes a 3.99 OAL to touch the lands with a .312 paper patch?

    Of course I will load for a couple of other 06's so the dies and glut of brass won't go to waste .

    I look forward to another 20 yr with "Donna" , the Prima Donna , but with more docile requirements for care and feeding.

    I have spent a good 7 or 8 years modifying the grip on my Glock 19 gen. 4 a little at a time. I *think* it's finally to my liking.
