I'll obviously take some meat with it over the Hogmanay when I'm up in Scotland as thats what they were made for. I'l get hours of endless fun doing load development andf having two I'll probably have one for jacketed and the beasts and another one for cast boolits and playing around with the infinity of options that loading cast boolits gives you.
Besides that I haven't really decided.

Every shooter needs one. Calm and tranquility, a place to be at one with your collection. Where the awfulness of the human race dissappears for a time.Dougan wrote: Btw: I'm envious of your mancave :mrgreen:

Re: 6mm Musgrave. Part 2.
I so agree, I can walk out to the shed and fettle and play to my hearts content, the Radio is switched on if I am so inclined or I just bathe in the peace and tranquility. Unfortunately for Christel this is a double edged blade, if I am out in the shed I need a constant stream of cups of black tea (No sugar please) which are invariably left half drunk, plus she is forever being called into the shed to be shown the latest triumph or disaster and to ask her for advice or feedback, so she does not really get any peace and quiet.
I have the first delivery of materials being delivered in a couple of days time for the winters projects and we are both exited at the prospect of building 'proper' things instead of all the little odds and ends I make.

Re: 6mm Musgrave. Part 2.
Too right it is Adam, I find myself buying very obscure taps right now, as is typical with reloading nothing is standard so I have had a mix of Metric and Cycle thread coming into the house over the last few days, I should start a thread advertising for obscure taps and dies wanted as I am sure they will all end up being used.
That reminds me, I need a sample for the annealing cups with the insert please and I will produce a few more for you

I'll try and get it off to you this week. I just use these tap for cleaning the dies threads on my presses from time to time. I got into a job lot a while ago and got some spares.
