That made me laugh Dick.  I realized how I had misspelled it... and I chuckled right out loud! 

My getting fleeced would in itself be quite bizarre!

I am not sure at present.  I'm having a few cash flow problems, and the Volvo needs a new exhaust!  I have a selection of loads for the parkerized Krag.  Russian steel jacketed 173s @ around 2400fps, some 311284 loaded to around 2000fps, or the caseful of powder Hornady 150s, which ought to be going around 2700fps.  The Garand has been giving me a hard time.  It might be the used Tasco pistol scope I bought, but I've not had time or money to test the Tasco's replacement yet.  I have loads for the K31 and for the AR in .223.  I wanted to get a 6x45 AR together for the Modern Military match.  I don't think I have the funds to complete the 6x45 upper, but I can simply swap barrels, provided I can find my torque wrench.

Gee...what are you doing in your spare time!

Sounds like you need about a week on the range just to get sighted in.

Yes, and lack of money has made for few range trips during this good weather.  A good 100yd zero and making use of some of the online ballistic software would suffice.  Least it did with my AR last year.  X number of inches high at 100 = close enough at 200.  I started hitting 10s right off the bat!   Wound up with a 97 and 96-3x from prone!  Nevermind standing, I wasn't used to holding that little gun and got some adrenaline flowing from the prone scores!  Does that adrenaline stuff make you all shake, or is it just me?

Yep and not just you.  I get it bad even when there is no pressure just plinking on a paper target.  Deep breaths calms it down.  I feel like I am in school taking a test that I could not care less about but needed the grade like crazy.

Adrenaline, if you're practiced and prepared, can help you focus intensely to get the job done well.

Caffeine, on the other hand, can make you nervous and shaky even if you're well practiced and prepared.

I wouldn't be visiting Starbucks before an important match!

"Lack of caffeine" makes me shaky and gives me a headache.

Too much caffeine is bad.

A Therapeutic Level is a good thing.

Oh, well... Some people call that an "addiction"!

Watch out. Ha! Ha!

Heck, Paul. Since when do most cops get real firearm training?

I've watched many go through specialized training before and the description I have heard is that they often act like Starsky and Hutch with a firearm. I would support much better firearm training by all law enforcement. But, they need good teachers and I don't think there are many out there.

This picture says a lot!
