For me, something as simple as a scope purchase leads to all kinds of projects.
I recently got in on a super bargain, a VX-5HD 2-10x. I didn't need it but it was too good a deal to pass up. I decided to see if my Model Seven custom in 6mm Rem would shoot 95-grain Partitions, and it loves them, so now I need to develop the load The VX-5 went on it and the VX-3 4.5-14 came off and went on my Mark X in 6-284 and now I have to develop the 70-grain BT load for that one. Should be a hot dog. To top it off, I discovered that my 6-284 brass is getting loose primer pockets so I laid in some 6.5-284 Lapua brass for the Mark X and I need to get all of it prepped. This is after having worked everything down to needing only to finish load development on a rebarreled .220 Swift. One step forward and three steps back. Sure wish I could do load development in my backyard.
Heaven help me should I decide to build a non-AR rifle anytime soon.
