Buy a couple of boxes of 124 gr. WWB NATO to break in the stiff RSA. Cheap, and shoots great in the Canik!
So far, we've been fortunate and have only lost power twice so far, for a couple of hours each time. We are all-electric, living in an older mobile home, so the temps drop quickly. I've got a gas heater and a kerosene heater as a backup, but fuel is limited for those.
Pipes are frozen, so no running water. I filled a lot of jugs before the freeze though, so we are well supplied for now.
So how's everyone else faring?
Our Gov Abbott is has declared this an emergency and wants to investigate:
"“The Electric Reliability Council of Texas has been anything but reliable over the past 48 hours,” said Governor Abbott. “Far too many Texans are without power and heat for their homes as our state faces freezing temperatures and severe winter weather. This is unacceptable. Reviewing the preparations and decisions by ERCOT is an emergency item so we can get a full picture of what caused this problem and find long-term solutions."
Lessee... You shuttered fossil fuel power plants in favor of unreliable "green" power...
