Took the kids out...
      09/09/08 01:28 PM

I had the day off and took my two best rifles out to the range for some 100 yard work. I'm homing in on 175 grain 7x57 and 220 grain 30-06 loads. I have found the load for my Sedgley - 41 grains of IMR 4064 behind a 220 grain Hornady round nose. It gives me a nice 1 1/2" group at 100 yards with the original Ziel Dialyt 2 3/4 power scope on its original Stoeger mount.

The other rifle is my 1909 Argentine custom the Dominick Pisano in San Antonio Texas made for me. This is my first year with it. It wears claw mount square bridges put on by Steve at clawmounts.com, and the little Weaver scope is a non-adjustable that gives me all the magnification I need and looks exactly right. If I ever draw an elk or mule deer tag out west I might - just MIGHT - get a fixed 4 power to go on in its place. Keep it simple, stupid - that's my motto.

I don't know what I'm going to get next, but I believe it will be a 9 or 9.3mm. For some reason I'm really getting pulled to the 9.3x57, and there are lots of great vintage sporters out there for less than a grand. And I need a good 6.5x55...of course. That's essential.

Anyway, sorry for the cell phone photo, but you get the idea. Doesn't the sun make the walnut on the Mauser glow?

Hope everyone else had as good a day - my shoulder is really sore after probably 50 rounds.
