I know the feeling. It's why I reload some ...

like the Russian 7.62x54R .. I spent a lot of time playing around with it and figuring out how to get a worn barrel to shoot minute of Whitetail.

It had a bayonet fixed on the barrel. The barrel was worn .. the muzzle area worst of all but overall it was not real good. I cut it down, floated the barrel, made a peep sight for it and experimented with different loads. Got it to where it will work for deer.

It ain't nothing to write home about but I had fun doing it.
