Hell to get old

[cdw338]

As I get older things are not like they use to be. I cannot rembermer things, and joints do not move as they use to.

I have reloaded for close to 40 years with never a prolem. Explosed one primer once and never another problem until a few
weeks ago, on the last case I was reloading, I was a little slack of lube and stuck the case.

I have a case removal set from RCBS. I brought it out and followedd the instructions, however the expanda ball could not be removed from the die and using the removel tool did remove the case but destroid the expanda ball. I called everywhere
trying to find a new one.

I was told they did not make the expanda ball by itself anymore and I would have to buy the hold inside of the die. I called
RCBS and explained to them what I wanted and they verified that
what I was told was correct.

Well the nice fellow I was talking to asked me for my address and said that the parts I needed would be in the mail to me at no charge.

Great service.

I have a 30/06 that I had put a new stock on and a new scope. Went to the range a week ago and it took three shots to zero everything.

Well I started to clean the gun and found I had left one of the adjustments caps off and must have left it at the range. I looked through everything I had taken to the range and no cap.

Well I tried other scope caps and none would fit it. What to do not? I got on the net and found the mfg of the scope and told
them what I had done.

They asked me if I was the original owner and I said yes. After
checking the exact scope I have. He said that one would be in the mail asap at no cost. I got the cap yesterday.

Another good company.

Sounds like it all turned out ok.

Oh heck, that ain't nothin. I think it was a combination of getting too old and too fat at the same time but I almost had a climbing tree stand incident. I had not used one in years and I got a chance to use one a couple of years ago. I had no problem getting up the tree. It was when I was trying to get down. The loops for my feet laid flat so I had to try any reach down and lift them so I could slide my feet in. Well, I almost passed out from lack of oxygen because I was bent over for so long because I could no quite reach the loops. It took several tries before I finally got it. I'd go down and try until I was about to the point of blacking out and then I would stand up again. I don't know how I would have woken up if I had blacked out all the way. Either dangling by the saftey harness or wedged in the tree stand. Either way I would have been stuck. Even though I have lost 60 pounds since then, I have never gone up in a climber again.

Try connecting your stirups with a foot long loop.Then tie your top to bottom teather to the loop and top part of stand.Pull up on the teather and bingo,the stirups come up foe easy foot insertion.
