Yep. Kids, job change, moving, etc. Left Northern BC late 2015.
Last cartridges I made before breaking the bench down was that autumn.
Since moving to Ontario, I've just been doing whitetail archery out of convenience; longer season vs. rifle season.
Almost sold all my gear; "I'll never have time to do that again..."
Now kid #1 wants to harvest my whitetail with a rifle. Great!
I put a stock on Grandfather's 6mm rem years ago but never got around to loading it, despite having all the components.
So I busted that out, cleaned the heck out of it, and threw a 4-12 Leupold VX-I on it that I had layin around.
Got that boresighted and measured .115" freebore with the 85gr TSXs I have on hand. Would like tighter but I'm constrained by the mag well. Oh well.
The small calibre, plus the varmint barrel should keep the recoil nice and friendly for her first centrefire.
I'm booked a the range next week for orientation. Can't wait to get back on the bench and start shooting.
Anyways, nothing constructive to add. Just happy to be back.
Y'all got any concerns or shooting powder that old?
Oh, and I saw the other thread about primers, thought I'd take a snap of this, for old times
