Well, this being mom's day and all I decided to spend most of it doing what *I* wanted, and what I wented was to work up a load for my garands using my cast 130 grain gas checked spire point bullets.
So I ended up shooting at the old trailer frame out back and I found that with 35.5 grains of IMR 4895 that bullet is pretty darn accurate and goes right through that steel frame out there. It's a pretty good plinking round I don't mind telling you. I think I'm going to load up a couple ammo cans of this stuff, in clips. A can holds 33 clips.
I really enjoyed the day, and I think I'm going to get into some serious case prep tonight.
I wonder if this round would be good for hunting...
