    My struggle became real when as a .308 owner I purchased a .270. We are not talking black powder here. Life is difficult with the choices we make

    I am always amazed at the support Tentman+ just reading through the warmth that the forum has in support.
    The MD said it and he lived and Akaroa1, And anyway we don't care about any of that we just want to see / know how it shot ?
    This all must be just heart warming. Knowing how close it was to living your name again.
    I will wait a week or so before visiting and won't point to the benchand hopefully I don't need my camp chair.

    Oh wait that is my house sink

    And that is a 176 year old muzzleloader barrel being cleaned there

    I'm in no way advocating this behaviour
    Well at least not if you have a partner

    Bachelor's. You just go for it

    And I should add that my wife was cooking a lovely meal off mushroom risotto and wild lamb chops while i was cleaning that barrel.

    She is total desensitized to what will come the short distance from my workshop to the house.
    It helps that she doesn't have the slightest interest either what they all are

    If I recall correctly last time @rambo-6mmrem was here we were cleaning his rifles on the dining room table as it was too cold out in the shed...
    May have even been giving a bore a bit of polish with some JB paste.

    I do have an area to clean in the reloading room, but you know, the heat pump is over the dining room table so what are we to do?
