What was your prep of the day?

I dragged out my "tactical" 94 Winni from its rat hole and oiled it up.

It is going into my Grand Cherokee along with a couple of bandoliers of silvertip.

It is the cheapest long gun to put in there that I have that is suitable for here and cause.

Yeah I could take a #4 Enfield or a Mauser, but just too long overall.

There is a lot of that demented pro Hamas/Palestine shit going on around here.

Not out here in the woods where I live, but in the big city that I have to go to every month at least once.

Even though the weather is getting warmer, I am going to carry either my Smith 4566TSW or my Smith 1911.

Backup will be a Smith model 60 2" with two speed loaders in pockets.

There is a couple of hundred rounds each of 45, 9MM, 38spcl and

40S&W in the Jeep at all times along with associated spare mags.

Here’s a great prep. Last week I got one of the new Garmin bullet chronographs. This thing is great! Super easy. It appears to be very accurate. And idiot proof so even I can use it. It’s expensive at $600, but very handy for reloading. I have an old Caldwell with the overhead screens that I was using. But it’s such a PITA to use that it seldom went to the range anymore. This new Garmin goes and gets used every time I shoot. I took it to my last 22 benchrest shoot. I used to claim that every last lousy shot was caused by bad ammo. But now with the new chrono I can see that bullet speed is within spec and my bad shots are caused by ME and not the ammo. (I can still claim that bad shots are caused by the hot air currents caused from all the lies and BS the shooters are spewing!). Anyhow, I like the new toy.

Yesterday working up a new bullet load, another shooter had a beautiful Russian Moist Nugget. The stock was beautifully refinished. The gun was reblued. Scoped. Front sight and bayonet mount were removed. Nice gun, and accurate too. Nice gun!
