The Gorilla Pro Tents have a adder you can get thats called the High CFM Kit. It's the white bars you see in my tent pics that I have the scrog tied to.
What other hobbies do you have?

That's what I'm talking about. Additional stuff that should be included in the framing. Nice use of the the bars.
I do like seeing a scrog.
Made $246. In 3 hours table cost 20 bucks pretty good investment

One of my current projects; converting useless 5.56x45 to 7.62x25 Tokarev rounds. I'm also resurrecting the venerable 25 Stevens rim fire from 22 Hornet brass.

Nope. Used a pipe cutter to bob 'em off at slightly over an inch, harvested the powder and primers, ran 'em through a Tok die, and then trimmed 'em to length. I've reused a bunch of the primers and wish I could find out what kind of powder they used. Otherwise, it'll get tossed in the compost pile or torched.
do you have a crony
Make a few in the lower pressure range using a know powder you have and make a few similar out of mystery powder and see how they compare, if the mystery powder is higher lower the amount down or up if low til you find the sweet spot
If the primers still work the powder is still good Might be of a higher pressure rate if military issued

Yep, got a chronograph. Primers are the key. If they flow around the firing pin, you've got high pressure. If they fall out of the pocket, you've got way too much pressure. Might work up some squib loads and see.
One of my favorite pistols is my 7.62 x 25 Tokarev. I haven't had to make brass for it. And I can't see that ever happening,,,, I have plenty and it's not hard on brass. But I did completely go through mine and cleaned it up. Took out all the commie machine marks. Even up'ed all the angles and gave it a more polished presentation. Did a clean basic parkerize job on it. New firing pin, rollers and all new springs. I bought a couple of old stock new barrels for it because the original one was all blacked out and nasty. New barrels were junk. So I cleaned the original up. Slugged it out and it was slightly undersized so I worked it out by hand and reparkerized it inside and out. I worked on the trigger just a bit. It's now one of my best shooting pistols and it does not care what ammo it shoots. Old or new ammo,, subgun ammo, White Box or whatever ammo is available on the market. It always hits in the same place. It's just some takes a bit longer to get there and you have to hold high. It does like a zippy round off my bench. It does get carried and is in my HD/SD rotation. It will eat a bullseye up with the best of them.
Before restoration. Shoots even better now.
I have a Ruger Mark II .22 caliber auto with a Charles Daly scope on it that I will put up against anything.
Bust bottle caps every time at 50 yards.
Sand bags, of course.

Never shot a CZ. My one and only is a TT-33 Chi-Com copy of the Russian Tokarev. Just as loud with about the same recoil as a 1911. Fun to shoot. I've got quite a few factory rounds for it, but the 5.56 blanks were worthless to me so I figured why not.

Hard candy...damn your really stepping up the edible game.
Do you have this hard candy recipe posted?
I doubled the canna oil citric acid and flavoring. Everything else I left alone. Make sure to use a candy thermometer. Important to get to 300 deg for a hard crack stage. It takes about 15 minutes of slow boiling to reach this stage. Also important to stir the candy just until it boils after that a slow boil on med/ low heat is fine. Do not stir after boiling. There are good tips from chef 420 in there along with other recipes for like peanut brittle. Scared to make that one. We buy that at christmas and it’s gone in like 5 minutes. Scavengers I tell ya!
I bookmarked that..thank you. So how do they taste?
