I'll be looking for good prices on good .22 LR ammo,

especially match stuff. I have the Ithaca Model 37 20 ga. project which will require: relocation of sight bead, shortening barrel, threading of barrel for choke tubes (Carlson) and repair/refinish of butt-stock. I have a PILE of loading to do, mostly to standardize loads. I've shot a pile of odd-ball loads I was trying or which accumulated over the years, a box here, a box there, and all that brass for the various cartridges needs to be loaded. I need to cast a BUNCH of bullets for the .45-75 and load that brass (I have about 500 pieces of brass). Yes, I need to shoot a bunch more of those odd-balls as well.

Then there are the extras I need to sell. Things like a Tenite stocked Savage 94 20 ga., some of my many snubs, etc (IF I can actually bring myself to do so).

I am really well set for components due to YEARS for planned acquisition. Much of that will be used in the loading projects.

I'd like to start regularly shooting trap this year. I need a better gun for that. I have ammo, cases, wads (maybe), shot, primers and powder.

I have other projects as well, I am digitizing/scanning enlistment documents for Virginia National Guard units for the years 1914-1918 as well as doing centennial related WWI veteran genealogies.

My seemingly sudden health problem has really cut into hunt time this fall and I would like to hunt more next year.

And then there is the wife, grandchildren, children, in-laws, etc...
