Crappy Situation

Bought this house 14 years ago because it was near my workplace and has room for the 90yo father in law. It's always had a slow working leaching field maybe due to the old clay tile and/or the soil in this area. Making a long story short, had the tank pumped and just 2 weeks later it was full to overflowing again. Had a drain plumber out and determined that the leaching field is basically noy working. 

Had a guy here Friday who specializes is repairing leaching fields. Supposed to get a general range of cost estimate Monday to fix the field. Unfortunately some of it is under the asphalt where the 5th wheel camper is parked. If there is a collapse they'll need to dig and replace. I expect this will cost several thousands of $.

Swiss K31

 Made it to the range again today for a short session with the Swiss K31. Managed to fire  3, three shot groups in an inch and a five shot group slightly larger. The old rifle is original except for a 2-7x scout scope. Was pushing a Sierra 180SPT at 2530f/s with IMR4350.

So now the Ishapore (308) and the Swiss (7.5x55) are zeroed with minute of angle ammo.

I brought the AR 6.5 Grendel, but forgot about the magazines. Crap, got a lot of ammo testing to do.

Ishapore Ammo

 Took the Ishapore back to the range to adjust zero and double check the load. (IMR4064 and Sierra 165 grain HPBT). After adjusting zero, fired a 5 shot. 1" group at 100 yards. It has a 2-8x scout scope mounted.

Looks like I'll be having issues getting any more powder. IMR4064  seems rare, and N140 with a very similar burn rate was a no-go at 2 on-line sources I checked.  It has a shortened barrel so I probably need to stay with that burn rate and bullet velocity.
