Title: Took Ethan Allen to the range
Post by: The Miner '49er on May 09, 2024, 02:10:07 PM
Just got back from the test drive of the .36 sxs. So as not to run afoul of the mods, the bad dude is threatening me with a highly evolved flintlock pistol. 12 gr 3F, .350" ball and wornout tee shirt patch lubed With Stumpy's Moose Juice. 7 yards, offhand of course. Had to call it quits, more severe storms headed this way. Homemade loading equipment. Not too pretty but functional.

Way cool, but gosh it sure storms there a lot.
 Sunny and 75 here today. Did some shooting myself.
 Looking forward to some more reports on that sxs.

Rain is all we have had in recent memory. Two evenings ago there was a line of storms that started in Ky and ran northward up the entire western border of Ohio and Indiana and kept on going into Michigan. It was a band of storms, heavy rain, strong winds, quarter size hail, and if you were really unlucky, tornados. We were lucky, just got the rain and wind.

We've been getting hammered too.  I think the storms are coming through here on the way to Pennsylvania!

I have family in my hometown, Detroit.
 Sounded like quite the weather. Followed the storms on TV.
 Glad your all safe.  I assume.  :pray:

Yes, we're OK, Kevin, thanks. I was worried about the possible hail. We ordered a '24 Subaru in Oct. and got it in Dec. I was ready to cover it with movers blankets if the hail was coming, but it missed us. Phew!
