The CZickness XLIV Girding our loins for 2022

[Bennettjh]

Boy I’d love to give this one a little love and hang it up in the wall to stare at and admire. Those brass hearts.

WTS: - Old Indiana farm rifle Price drop SPF

SPF 36 caliber wall hanger. Needs TLC but I don’t want to ruin the patina or damage finish. 3 brass hearts, 1 nameplate, one 2 wire inlays about 1/2”. Ramrod broken and holder loose, trigger needs help, missing barrel pin. Original as found. $150.00 Plymouth area. Edited for broken trigger...

Would be cool to have and look at.

You just saved me $300

So I keep hearing.

Didn't like the 4x32 Bushnell. The glass was grand, just hate that fat duplex reticle. Had an old Tasco 3-9 on an air rifle, so I swapped them right quick before stowing. Tucked with it's only .22wmr rifle brother.

Good Morning *EARLY.!* Everyone.!

Mind is racing, many things are keeping me up.

No -- it's not the 'Rona - that's a distant memory now.

Hec, I even got my taste back to prolly 85%

Life in general is dealing me blows...I'll be fine.

Morning all
Looks like a Costco trip today.

 

[Ruger_Ronin]

Mernin' awl. Cawfee er diy.

Bit of powder on the deck this morning.

Morning RR it's 18* up here with just a dusting of snow.

 

[bcannon]

Morn'n gents, just enough snow to cover everything here. Let the dog out and he instantly had the zoomys.

 

[Ruger_Ronin]

Snausage eggs and fried taters had, time for chores. Magpie chose Jimi for our tunes. She's got it figured out.

Morning folks

Wife saw the doctor yesterday and was told all her vitals looked good. She's on the mend and mainly dealing with some aches still along with coughing up this crap (productive coughing thankfully). She can return to work on Tuesday, assuming she continues to improve.

Morning all!!
Going slow this morning so far, but the kids are going x3 speed.
2 cups of coffee in so far, but need more.

Decided to keep my vacation as planned. Beginning my plans and prep work for shootapalooza. I think I'll give my version its own name of testntunapalooza, since it will be more about testing and tuning. Yes, I left a tuna joke in there for you folks....


Here's the plans:

Centerfire:
Howa 308 - More load development at 100 yards, any further testing will be at 300 yards after this.
Howa 223 - Same as above.

Rimfire:
Tippmann 22 - Test Lapua Center-X and RWS Rifle Match at 50 yards, then practice at 100/200/300 yards with CCI SV (more practice with wind calls).
MP15-22 - Thinking about temporarily installing a scope for match ammo testing at 50 yards. I tested a few years back with "regular" ammo, but never match stuff. Just curious of what the results could be. Hoping for Vudoo or Anschutz type results or I'm selling the damn thing off.
CZ 457 - Probably another round of testing at 50 yards with RWS Rifle Match and Eley Club, then begin testing/tuning with the Harrell Rimfire Tuner (the big a$$ tuner). Eventually I need to settle on ammo and get back to practicing at 100-300 yards.

I had all of my rifles' dope figured out, then installed all new scopes/rings/mounts and never really got around to verifying dope and updating all of my records and Strelok Pro. Reloading has really sidetracked everything I was doing before. I need to get ammo/loads dialed in and really settle into learning how to actually shoot better at distance. I really want to get my rifles wind adjustments figured out and get back on track for shooting long distance and hit what I'm aiming at instead of just shooting for groups ALL the time. ADHD is a real b**ch when it comes to this stuff. So many squirrels...and rabbit holes.

I applaud your plan, Spicy ....very ambitious !

It would seem that 2022 is not letting up on us after 2021. Sounds silly but the evidence is there.

Spent most of the day in the Surgery clinic.
There was a mass of liquid found under my ostomy scar in the pet scan and again in the CT scan I had recently. They hopped my body would deal with and dissipate it but alas not so. I sprung a leak at the bottom of my surgery scar and the body dealt with it that way. Draining all over me in my sleep. So off to see the surgeons.
Not sure what's next but peoples I have to tell you this is beyond getting old.
Football playoffs so that will be my afternoon and evening.

Turkeys were wound last couple days. Last night's labor wore them down. That aside, I agree.....more coffee!

I have 4 rimfires now needed zeroed and ammo matched. I feel your pain. I promise you, your charts will be more detailed.

About to leave work and get cleaned up. Got my purple unicorn panties ironed last night for a pantless highway run today. Sounds like Dr.spiceywiener is going to have to extend his vacation to get all the data. Cant wait to see the results though, im intrigued by that monster of a barrel tuner.

Its 20 20 TWO, i dont have high hopes for this year unfortunately.

Hopefully itll be a simple fix without to many issues. Also hopefully the Eagles have it together because F Tom Brady.

Sorry, but can’t let low hanging fruit just rot on the tree….
