30-30 remchester,,,, YOU ARE THE WINNER!!!!!!!!!
I could say something like “A friend of mine told me of this problem,,,,,”
But I’m not a liar. And when I am stupid I’m not afraid to say so. A friend came over and wanted to go shooting, so I packed up several guns, 03-A3, several 5.56 and my Ishapore 2A1 rifle in 308.
I am a very careful person when it comes to guns and have been reloading for over 30 years. I put all of my reloads in Tupperware containers and they are marked with type caliber, bullet type, powder charge and with a ballistic table.
In those 30 years I have never,,,, well to make a STUPID story short.
I picked up the 03-A3 and picked up a couple of 06’s and one in the chamber and it fired a little light. Pulled back the bolt and the extractor came off the case and not having a rod with me I was done.
So I picked up my Ishapore and noticed what my problem really was,,,, it’s spelled “STUPID!”
Luckily the rounds I was working up for the Ishapore were light reduced loads so I don’t think I damaged the gun, but I did sever damage to my pride.
I wanted to share this with you not so much to make myself look stupid (which I am) but to say that no matter how long or how many we put down range,,, we really need to keep our heads out, and you know where I am talking.
