Just tell yourself it's 'fun'
I usually put a standup comic on Netflix on the tv in the man cave.
The Tv is behind me when reloading and I just listen.

Take my time and have a few laughs , good way to spend a few productive hours

So I thought, well, I know what I am charging it with and I do have a thrower, and fast scales... And it's all trimmed and sized... And a year ago I purchased heaps of 7.62x54R surplus ammo... Some of which I didn't feel safe with, so I pulled those and had the projectiles sitting here waiting...

So this is kind of the definition of plinking rounds :) 150gr surplus projectiles (more like 148, yes I did weigh them, yes, I am that pedantic), charged with 39gr of AR2208. Should be fun.

I load my 174gr with 43gr, both combination should be around 2400fps, so I even know what to expect. Kinda` cool.

Happiness is having enough toys that you can do something shooting related every night and never watch crappy TV again. I'm there and its good!
There's still a few of Wile. E Coyote's ideas that I haven't tried yet.

Hey, kids are in bed and wife banished me to garage, because she was watching something on TV, and pretty much said, go play with your guns, I am watching my show. So I went... LOL

Gee, TV and all its crappy shows are not as bad as I thought after all :lol:

An "Unintended Discharge" is nothing more than the lack of appropriate safety procedures or the failure to follow them..!

I actually don't remember when either one of us watched "TV". 100% of our watching comes in on our time. We don't actually sit down to watch TV... If there's a show that we watch, we make time and watch it on our time; and everything is either streamed or downloaded. But, I don't actually remember last time we just watched TV at random.

Yep, Ben, I think, this is the only and really the last bastion of Australian free-to-air and definitely Foxtel. There is literally no other reason for Foxtel, other than sports. And since I don't watch sports enough to justify cable, Foxtel is a far inferior product to all other offerings. Free-to-air is a shame though. They really need some good shows. I don't even mind the ads, if the content was there..

Ha! I was watching Forgotten Weapons the other day, him competing in a 3 gun match with a K31. Though that was awesome.
