I'm back!
Not that anybody missed me, but I have been off AR for 40 days.

You see, I had to give up something that I love for Lent, and I chose AR.

I'm telling you, it has been MURDER! I would run into a problem in the reloading room and say, "I'll just go on AR and ask someone." Then I would remember that I gave it up for Lent. Or I would think of a question I have about Africa or a particular PH, or read something that I wish to impart to other folks, but when I sat down at the computor, I had nowhere to go!

I did answer PM, however. Not to do so would have been downright rude, but not even once did I log on to the forum. Now excuse me, I gotta lota ketchin' up to do.

Most noticeable thing I see that happened while I was gone is the dead horse finally must have rotted away completly. I don't see anybody beating it anymore. I hope the stench is gone.

Mate, take my advice and do sweets instead!
Much easier and also harder to define....I mean peanut butter isn't really candy!

GAHUNTER ----- You are a better man than me, I just don't think I could give up AR for 40 days. One thing for sure, I certainly don't want to, now that you have mentioned it. I am sure my wife sometimes wonders if AR is some sweet thing lurking in the shadows, then she encourages me to spend all the time I can, perhaps there is a message there. Eeker Good shooting.

Pathfinder,

I hope the heck you are wrong. I'll kick myself if I find out I could have come here on Sundays and didn't out of ignorance.

This is the first time I have ever given up anything for Lent. Figure I've got a lot of makin up to do.

Waiting on bullets from Huntingtons. I think I have settled on a load with H4831SC. The metal work is over at Roger Kehr's place getting a touch of his magic and then back to Tip to put together. If you haven't seen the engraving there is a thread over on Big Bore where I posted some pictures. ScrollCutter's Magic

Other wise just await'n!
