The closest outdoor range that I could find is about an hour and a half away. I’ll probably just have to use my local indoor range and see if they’ll just let me slide on the time limit. I’m sure if I do it on a Monday during work hours it might not be busy at all.

Good idea. Thanks!

This topic is tangential to the normal "Barrel Break-in" topic in that I'm only concerned with the location and the amount of time needed. I've never broken in a rifle before and did not even know that was a thing. My father had all the rifles and did all the cleaning. I was never involved in...

I saw that... pretty awesome. I'm actually going to buy one from a member on here so I can just get started quickly. Thanks everyone!

Does annealing equipment come up for sale here very often? - Wil

@Starbuck I live in Texas where we don't really have any public land to speak of (for hunting). Most of the land is privately owned... hence the problem if you don't own 50+ acres. I do have 20 acres in East Texas but there is a house in the middle of it and a few other hunters on the adjacent...

I don't see how that can be possible. Each round has a number on it so it does not matter if the brass gets mixed up. Maybe I'm just not understanding what you're saying.

It's pretty hard to run analytics on a bunch of zip lock bags. LOL 🤪

Wow. That is a lot of data. I don't even know what a lot of that means. Clearly, I need to read some more. Thank you! - Wil

First off, I'm OCD... and I'm an engineer... so data is king and I'm "anal" about it. That said, I've read a lot about reloading logs as well as shooting logs. Based on everything I've read (including in this thread), here is what I'm thinking about doing. I am going to keep two logs (as well...

Hopefully, Pendleton Directors" Reserve. ;)

I've watched many videos on installing/aligning scopes and none of them seem to ever touch on horizontal alignment (the distance from the eyepiece to your eye). Everyone just seems to "center" the top turret between the scope rings. Is that really ideal or is there a better choice? - Wil
