Get a 22lr instead. It's not a real Aussie gun safe without a 22 in there.

So I finally managed to track down a "spam can" of 7.62x54R surplus for my Mosin 91/30 (Albanian based on tin markings). And quite a few 'paper wrapped' surplus sets to go along with it (Albania, Bulgaria, China), so I get to keep the can for a while in its closed state and plink with some surplus Yay!

Brown paper packages tied up with strings. These are a few of my favorite things.

I'm planning to recruit some staff for my firearms safety training school. I'm typing an ad post for the basic requirement in a trainer for the job.

Fun? Not so much. I put some carefully loaded ammo in a hinge-lidded plastic box yesterday. The charges were arranged in rows of three with a scissored-off piece of paper describing the load particulars. Damn thing did a roll-over, spilling every single round from its alloted place, Inside The Box

I had spent an hour and a half travelling to the range and this happens. Nothing daunted, I decided to fire them and see how the pressure was according to how sticky the lever was to operate. I could remember the maximum charge and reckoned that if operation was sticky on a few, then The charge had to be reduced.

It turned out that this mix up was the least of my problems as no pressure problems were detected with my 464 Mossberg 30/30. To cut a long story short, I had been experiencing failure to fire (with my reloads ) and vertical stringing in the past and had gone to the range this pm to try a different holding technique for the stringing and to see if the FTF would repeat. In spite of my efforts, both reared their ugly heads.

I can change primers for the FTF but as for the stringing, I'm not so sure. Yes, the loads were an unavoidable mixture of charge weights but there was 6" in the elevation Would a difference of 2 grains account for 6" at 50 yards? Initially and with factory ammo, there was no stringing and the barrel was not allowed to cool much either. Today, I exercised some patience and waited between 3 shot groups........about 5 minutes In addition, I held the fore end tightly, pulling the rifle in to my shoulder, unlike previous visits where the fore end was allowed to sit passively in the cradle of the rest. I did seal the magazine tube channel of the fore end after the initial factory ammo outing. Perhaps that was unwise.......

It's been good talking to you but I can hear the staff wheeling my medication trolley down the corridor and I do tend to somewhat Collapse after treatment so you might want to..............."Oh, you're going!" "Oh well, thanks for listening"

It's called 'work' I guess, the Rhianna song?

Just goes 'work, work, work, work, work' and the mumbles a bunch of other garbled mess.

Stuck in my f***ing head for hours this morning after hearing the radio

Thankyou mate. I think I needed to Vent I wish I could take some "insight medication" that would tell me what to do, now that you mention my fragile psyche Come to think of it I prolly shoulda posted in Gunsmithing.
You see the power of therapy, mate? I'm starting to think already
