Finally, back to prepping brass.

After a few months of not being able to feel brass in my fingers, it's starting to come back 1 and 5 weeks after surgery for carpel tunnel. Doing a bunch of .223 Lapua once fired and chamber formed. Neck sizing, mandrel setting neck tension, primer pocket scrub, neck brush and flash hole uniforming. Only did 50 so far this morning with another couple hundred on the que for today. Raining cats and dogs outside so it a super time to get onto the brass. Whatta Hobby!

working on that, kinda

thought I could get by shooting with factory match, so I made a deal with a guy for a pile of match ammo (trade some ball)

nope, gun hates it, as in not consistent, as in 3 MOA or worse,

so, put it all on the Broker to sell, and have started over loading, prepping brass etc, as I can find time,

doubt I have a load done and tested before the next match, but will have some to at least test and see, meaning I will end up calling the match and testing loads afterward or during the slow prone and offhand portions

My body is like some of the Ford products me and my family have owned. Problems come up, then after a while they go away.

About 10 years ago I developed a bad case of carpel tunnel in my left wrist. Since there are no doctors in my area I put off having surgery even though the pain was bad enough to wake me up throughout the night. One day I opened the car door (heavy door) and it got away from me. I reached out to catch it before it banged into something and used my bad left hand to do it. The pain, I would compare to someone pulling my wrist off with a tractor. It hurt badly for several hours then started easing up. A couple of months after that incident no more pain and no recurrence. Never had the surgery.

When I bought my F-150 4x4 I had crippling arthritis in my hips so bad I couldn't sit on the open tail gate due to the extra height of a 4x4. I use to walk around like grandpa from the "Real McCoys". A couple of years later all is well. No pain. No meds.

Numerous lesser illnesses have come and gone, even the pain from a pinched nerve in my spine. No surgery.

Maybe if I live another 100 years my heart will strengthen and become normal again.

That carpel tunnel syndrome is very annoying.
