In my mind, yes. It is very hot here in LR, AR today. I have a few things to get accomplished. I am working my way to get the 5000 mile maintenance completed on my 2010 Harley Street Bob today.

The list isn't long, but some of the tasks take a few time to get correct if they are out of whack.
Meanwhile I have been removing primers and belling .44 Magnum brass. I am loading up some of my Trail Boss plinkers. I use a Lee 1.6cc dipper for an average of 7.0 grains.

I have some full loading of 2400 with an 240 grain XTP waiting, and some Missouri Bullet Company 240 LSWC bevel based boolits loaded with Unique from 10.0 to 11.0 in .5 grain increments.
I heard from Beartooth today that my .431 GC 250 grain WFN will be shipping Monday. Cannot wait to get these hammers. I am praying every night that I get good accuracy with the componnts I have on hand. Which are Win brass/CCI 300/an Alliant 2400 powder. This is a GC flat based bullet with a .340 meplate. Wow.. I just makes me smile to think about having a handgun with 6 rounds of that power. I have a feeling though that the way my Ruger SBH 5.5" barrel shoots the 270 grain Speer GDFN, I should have ordered the 300 grain WFN GC in .431. We will see though.
