Yes I did forget one longer bob. =5
The other has a has a name that uses an R to start so the could be number 6.
That is a lot of Bobs. 24% in fact of our group.

With Becky, Heidi and Tito we will have a fine trip.
These old boys that put this hunt on ran out of beer last year. Bet they had no idea how much the group would drink.

Range trip today - The Marlin .35 Remington shot well, ditto the #1 .38-55. The Winchester .44-40 needs a bit more work, and a finer front sight, but should be fine.

I will throw in a case of wine and some stuff in jars. Not sure what will be in the jars because they are empty! Will try for some canned, smoked fish of some color!

I have a side deal going with Bob the "Bullshooter". Since he has a beautiful fusil that digests lead, and I have a plentiful supply of lead, we are going to do a trade. Today I began the melt and clean portion of lead preparation: [img:center]http:// [/img] It's a lead pipe cinch! Next the layers of sheet lead: [img:center] [/img] This finished ingots will be tomorrow. Then to the range.

The .44-40 is a bit of an anomaly - it's a Model 94 Winchester. Dad had picked up a Model 94 in .30-30 around 1980 or so, and years later learned that some were sold in Canada in .44-40. He located the parts, and installed them. I later added a Lyman 66 receiver sight. I slugged the bore today, and found it measured .4295", so .44 mag pistol bullets should work fine in it. Guess that will be my approach

I'm a Bob, but y'all can call me Otis Campbell! Hope there is enough beer for the rest of you! I'm bringing my Westernfield in 405 Jess, my Howa in 358 Win. and my Mark X in 7x57! Should be able to kill something!

I am wondering how much does each ingot weigh and what is the total weight of the input and the output?

Range trip today - The Marlin .35 Remington shot well, ditto the #1 .38-55. The Winchester .44-40 needs a bit more work, and a finer front sight, but should be fine. I need to finish the workup of some hog loads for an M98 in 6/284 so I drove out to the local range, which I had not visited since 23 December. We've had 60 inches of snow since then. Here's a photo of the drive entrance this AM: . . That snow pile is 6+ feet high, shoved there by the local road crews that use the drive as a winter snow dump for excess snow from the county road. I thought about walking in, but decided against it after I climbed to the top of the pile and looked down at the gate and drive: . . Breaking a trail for a quarter-mile of snow while towing a toboggan full of rifle stuff didn't seem attractive. I'll go to another range 25 miles away which is likely to be plowed. At least the sun was shining - for the first time in more than a couple of weeks. I'm really looking forward to March in TX. --Bob

Bob
I feel your pain in Nortern Minnesota. We have at least two feet on the ground. And it has been too cold to think about venturing out. Should be above zero this week, so maybe I can try a few loads. Or go ice fishing!
