What about the .375 Ruger experiment (Hornady brass vs. ironed out belted mag brass)? Instead of building a trophy room you should have built yourself an indoor range. There isn't enough hours in a day for all your projects![/QUOTE]
Tell me all about it, Steve..........I did build an outdoor range (100 mtr only) and will be progressing with the 375 Ruger project this fall as well as the 23 cal, I have to have 4 or 5 rifles to shoot when doing test loads, so I have time to allow barrels to cool.........If I don't have enough rifles to test and have to wait while barrels cool I get side tracked and wander off in the middle of a test session.........I think it's called A.D.D. or maybe just OA (old age) syndrome.
Hunting has also caused a month long delay, however I refuse to apologize for that delay.............it takes priority over all gun testing in my life........so far!!!
Have a WT draw in Sask for the last week of Nov too...........only terminal ballistics testing that week.
As far as indoor range vs trophy room well it was a bit of a toss up but some of my boys have been waiting for a home for years and besides the wife had some say in those priorities...........home additions vs range, you guess which held the highest priorities for her...........I couldn't let her get a new living room and kitchen and not get my trophy room.............
