It’s amazing what a thorough cleaning will do. First time at the range with the Mark II since its dunk in the ultrasonic cleaner, and it’s back to its usual tack-driving self. No malfunctions with either brand of ammo I have on hand.

He’s absolutely delusional…5150.
Do you agree with Obama's statement that 'the world has never been less violent?'

Ready for happy fun time at the range tomorrow. (Left to right: .40 S&W with my cast bullets, .44 Special with my cast bullets, .44 Magnum with Berry’s plated bullets, and .30-06 with Hornady jacketed bullets. The only cartridges I shoot that I can’t yet reload are 7.62×39 and .22 LR, and the latter pretty much isn’t reloadable in any practical sense.)

How convenient…they’re predicting sunny weather a week from now, while I’m up in Portlandia for OBF. Are you of the body?

A while back, I picked up a couple of gallon zip-locks full of .40 S&W brass at a gun show…should be about 2000 rounds between them. They’re range pick-ups, so they need work before they’re usable. That’s a lot of brass to go through in the triple-digit heat we’ve been having, so I picked up a handheld reloading press so that I might move some of this stuff indoors: [ 390 more words. ]

The ultrasonic cleaner arrived today. I should’ve taken a “before” picture of my Mark II; the breech face was all crudded up with a mix of lead and powder to where it wasn’t reliably extracting, regardless of what ammo I gave it. After 15 minutes in the cleaner with some Ed’s Red I mixed up, it’s clean enough you could eat off it…if it weren’t so small. :) The Blackhawk’s in the bath now. Only prep for both was to field strip and remove the grip panels.

Possible entry for the eating-better files? It’s low-carb, at least: lettuce, a small tomato, some taco-seasoned ground beef, and cheese. Chipotle ranch dressing isn’t shown. Even with having to cook up the meat first, it went together quickly.
