I decided to prepare for helping out if/when chitt hits the fan. I only have about 100 rounds loaded for the .30-30s and OTOH, about 200 empty pieces of brass. Plus, I'm about 65% bored out of my skull. And it's not raining. And my powder/primers need a purpose in this life.

I have a lot of reservations about what's in store in the aftermath of 3 November, regardless of who wins. So, in keeping with the Scout's motto....

Say hello to my new batch of Lyman 311041 style lead. They run about 10-11 on the BHN scale and I've launched them at velocities over 2,100 fps in the past with no leading and more than acceptable accuracy with a levermatic.

Sizing, lubing and gas checks are next on the agenda.

I am..........disturbed.
