What have you bought firearms related in the last 48 hours?

I'm not in a living situation that will allow me to do so, but I expect to rectify that fairly soon... SO, I have ordered some molds and other necessities that will enable me to begin bullet casting once again. I had a set of casting equipment many, many moons ago, but foolishly sold it. I'm looking forward to reliving the experience.

2 magnum bolts
5 hp magnum firing pins

it's fun shooting short mag cartridges from an ar10 platform...........now to decide on what other cartridges........i currently have the 6.5prc & 7saum...........i'm thinking 338rcm, 6.8western & 300saum for over 175's and 300wsm for 175's and under/less due the the case being longer

Gonna try to find my old data book but I do recall shooting a lot of 250's. Sold the rifle, dies and reloading components. It was a lot of fun but expensive to shoot and there were no real long ranges anywhere close to me. Can't remember the custom action but had a McMillin stock, 30" Shilen barrel & Nightforce 5-20(?) scope. Shooting at 100 yards even 200 yards was a waste of ammo and got boring. This was about 25 years ago.

I ONLY HAVE A FACTORY SAVAGE 110 stealth that has a 24" barrel 9.25 or 9.35 twist. i've only shot out to 200 yards, but since i have enough range on my property i could go out as far as 2 miles. the terrain make it difficult not to mention the cattleand overhead powerlines and roads used by oil & gas companies. the best or longest range for me is the 120 acre center pivot circle that could get me out to 1,000-1,200 yards at a good angle.

Wow would have loved trying it out at much longer ranges. Have looked high and low can't find my 338 data book. Did find data on 6.5CM pretty extensive with numerous loads chronographed did a lot of testing the for the most accurate bullet, powder, primer combination. Didn't have a super accurate rifle was a Ruger Precision rifle 26" stock barrel best group was 1/2" at 100 yards.
