May have shot the best 5 shot group of my life today in my Savage 6.5 creedmoor. Still waiting on my EC tuner/brake for my 6mm creedmoor build, so I took the 6.5, a box of reloads, and headed to the range/LGS to see what they had for powder and bullets, and kill some time. First group was pretty good….
But I thought, why not try to beat it…..
I didn’t measure it, but the circle is 1”, and the bullets are .264, so it’s easily under a 1/4” spread. Guy next to me made a snide remark about my “expensive” rifle. It gave me great pleasure to let him know it was a Savage Axis, and that the barreled action cost less than the chassis it was sitting it, and less than the Vortex scope that was on top!

You just ignited a winter project. I too have some of those piles of lead lurking in my garage for a decade or so. Seeing a picture of it makes me realize how much more convenient it is to store in ingot form.Today was melt scrap make metal day.
Smelted a bunch of old wheel weights and assorted scrap that had been hiding under the work bench for years.
Yielded about 25lbs. of pure lead and about 75lbs. of alloy metal.

Now useful projectiles can be made.
Today I inspected my first batch of lead ingots. AKA "the ugliest ingots known to man"
