Very nice. We had our first frost last night also. And heater is not working at the office.

Get revenge, eat the deer ......

Now, on the subject of guns and shooting deer, the 350 Legend shooting cast bullet loads is 1) perfectly deadly inside 150 yards  2) quiet, very very quiet  3) no recoil, no action slam.

The gun has a huge bore compared to the case size (same diameter, actually) so faster powders will have to be used anyway.   On top of this, the gas port is about halfway down the 16" barrel so the powder needs to be burned completely by the time the slug gets to the gas port or you get "un-burned powder inside the gas action" complications which are avoided by design in as much as possible.

So, halfway down the barrel you actually begin to tap off MOST of the driving pressure into driving the action motions, with the rest of the gas pressure just gets vented away inside the lower assembly by the fully retracted bolt carrier assembly.   This functions as a form of silencer, actually, because their isn't a big muzzle blast left to fly out after the bullet leaves the barrel.

Please remember, I am shooting powder coated cast bullets, not factory jacketed rounds.

It operates the action smoothly and without any slamming ruckus.

Those that shoot the Legend in an AR seem to like it a lot.

I know nut'n bout guns, however, the fried green tomatoes, I can show you how to eat
