My two daughters and granddaughter bought me gift cards to Cabelas!!! Better than shirts and socks.

New receiver. For the theatre though, not the gun collection.
A pause for the COZ

Well since I generally lack self control when I decide I want some thing.
It leaves few options for those who think enough of me to want to present me a gift. ( I know!!! at least there are a couple)
Pretty much have it down to, A new pair of slippers every year. ( I purposely dont buy them) and a hat or a hoodie.
And thats exactly what I got this year. two pairs of slippers actually. All good with me.

From all the talk around here and the positive comments I got an RCBS Charge master from Mamma Claws.
I played with it today just test loads and did my favorite loads. I came to two conclusions. I like it but for pistol loads its to slow.
What impressed me was the accuracy.
What I measured the loads with was a high end (commercial) balance scale.
Dropped 10 into the balance scale then divided by 10. I did a total of 10 each and the following was the averages.
And yes it surprised the heck out of me.
Herco: 5.6 GR 50 average = 5.63
Herco: 11.9GR 50 average = 11.87
H4895: 26.1 GR 100 average = 26.18
H4895: 48.5 GR 100 average = 48.45
IMR 4227: 23.8 GR 100 average = 23.82

Regret.
I should have bought it myself.
From the wife, "You always just buy guns for yourself anyway. I figured if we could afford it, you'd just buy it. Plus, I don't like the background check thing. I get nervous that I'll fill it out wrong, and everybody looks at me weird since I'm nervous."
From the mother-in-law, "If I had known [wife] wasn't getting it, I would have given somebody the money to cover half."
Now, it's back to MSRP, 35% more expensive than it was before Christmas, 35% more expensive than I think it's worth; and competing with an equally expensive - and equally desirable - revolver variant that Ruger just re-released.

First 30 caliber bolt action desk pen
Santa outdid himself with this 30 caliber bolt action pen. I has no safety, but is mightier than a sword?
