Well, I do do rather extensive sessions of 12 ounce curls. If I am feeling real manly I up them to 16 ounces.

I've found that if you glue those one-pound hand weights to the bottom of your beer mugs, you can build yourself up as you tear yourself down...

After bending 2 of my grandmas kitchen can opens I noticed a small dent in the corner on one end of my spam can. I attacked it with a pair of bolt cutters. After making a small slit I was able to slide in some needle nose pliers and roll it back much like a sardine can. I attached this picture for reference. Its not pretty, but I didn't cut myself. I considered it a win...

I don't have quite that much 7.62X54R, but I feed a LOT of different caliber guns. Three tall shelves just for ammo.

My ammo doesn't stay around long enough to accumulate. RIght now I think I have over 600 rounds of Mosin ammo, 1000+ rounds of m2 ball Garand ammo and several hundred rounds of other ammo. Fun stuff.

Was looking at a box of 8x57 8mm Mauser I got from Sportsmans guide. It had a sticker on it for $32. for 750 rounds. And it had a sticker on it for SPECIAL 50% off.

Wish I could get 750 for $16 now.

Too bad the loose screws on the rear sites will keep any of this from hitting the target.

Or have we come up with a different excuse for the next shoot with Paper?

I think you need to find yourself a spam can opener.

That's because I can't seem to interest you in pistols. I probably have more pistols than Mosins.......

.............though not by much.

I ain't really worried about the Government too much yet. You know who has been Prez for how long now, and no new draconian gun measures, yet.
