But it was good time, just finished cleaning up . and making me a BLT samich.

Morning/afternoon all.  Depends on what time zone you're in.  It's 11:45 here.

Currently 75, forecast for 80.  It'll be nice to have a day below 100.  Probably end up walking the dog pretty soon.

The fire claimed another life yesterday.  A PG&E lineman.  The fire is currently at 7 killed, and over 100 with related injuries, from bulldozers rolling to heat exhaustion to heart attacks.

Finally took a pic of the Marlin 1893.
It came with a half length mag tube, but there were problems with it and the mag spring. So, I replaced both with full length. It now hold 8 rounds in the mag.

First try with loads are key-holing. Got a little more work to do.

Had unburned powder in the barrel, too. Ended up increasing the powder charge by 5 grs before the key-holing and unburned powder went away. I was losing light so my group was very good. I'll try it again in better light for grouping.

TK, your damned smoke got here yesterday.

Sharing is caring, and all that.

Another 100 degree day here, it looks like. 90 right now, but steadily climbing.
