    My newest addition at work

    Posted earlier about a month ago about my find at a local show. It is a Winchester. I cleaned her up and worked up a load with 12.7 of IMR 4227 behind a 115 gr RN cast I got from NOE bullet molds. This is my 12 year old putting her through her paces. It gladdens my heart. I hope the link works. If, not I will try again, or you can direct enter in your browser if you are interested.
    Thanks, Jason

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Those are good times Jason. Enjoy! Here's a quick shot of my youngest at 10 with a National Postal Meter M1icon carbine.

    Nice. I hope their interest in the shooting stays a priority. I teach, and unfortunately, interest in shooting is dwindling. Btw, very nice postal meter.

    A Grandpa of teenage boys here, and checking for eye and hearing protection. Not sure I can see eye protection on Jason's son - hope I'm wrong. - Bob

    He is not. He was reminded to put his glasses on right after that. I'll take the blame for that one. We were so focused on getting him set up to video, he forgot and so did I. It shall not happen again. Happy Easter everyone.
    Jason.

    When I commented, I thought that's what had happened. Same thing has happened with my grandkids and it was my fault, not theirs. Thanks! - Bob

    Great, Thanks for sharing! It is vital to pass firearms knowledge and appreciation on to the younger generations. They certainly aren't getting it from schools or media.

    Another good cast load is 11.00 Grains of Alliant 2400 with a 115. I set the rear sight to 200, instead of 100/150, and it prints to the same POI as the 110 FMJ 15 grain of WW296 load (or factory ammo) does on the 100/150 setting at 100 yards.
