First break in our "Rains of Venus" weather, and "Ol' Bob" (of Basket-Case fame and recent Spa Treatment) hit the skids. Roadwork. Like Paul Newman in "The Fighter". Chances are, if this rusted hulk of a former gun did not fall into my hands (or similar), it may now rest in a landfill. At the very least, it probably would have never been shot again. He did very well, and looked good doin' it!
Ken Waters' Pet Loads once again lighted the way with reams of .257 Data AND Narrative. If you have decided to be a Handloader, this is THE ORACLE of careful, documented Handloading. Not always the answer, but he tells you how to find it.
A 100grain Nosler Ballistic Tip was the star for the day, but may not be the final choice. This was only 5 hours alternating between the load bench and shooting shack.
Ol' Bob's a pretty cool dude to spend a day with.
"Ol' Bob" on the bench and lookin' good doin' it! The rifle is a pussycat to shoot, trigger has been adjusted to impeccable, and the old boy performed on his first day out.
Not too damned bad for a 70 year-old man discovered in the trunk of a car and out for his first jog. The guns of this period are the epitome of American manufacturing pride that will never be seen again.
