Today was the first really nice day that I had off in about a month, and I couldn't just sit at home. I pondered my gun choices for the day (not that I have alot of guns) and loaded up my Bulgarian Makarov and my Ruger 22/45 target pistol. I brought 100 rds of mak ammo and about 250 rds. of .22 ammo. That lasted about an hour. there was nobody else at the range, and my range has 3, 5 and 25 yrd shooting position when shooting from the firing line. I spent the mak ammo shooting 5 yrd rapid fire and used the .22 for some in front of the firing line stuff. I put 4 paper plate targets on a cardboard silouette target on the 25 yrd target board (Yeah, I know I'm cheap ) and did some rapid fire at various ranges. I shot standing, kneeling and walking. Before I knew it I was out of ammo. But wait, there's more I thought . I didn't want to resort to this, but I pulled my S&W 642 out of my pocket and unloaded 5 shots on Remmington 158 gr.+P lead hollow point into the target. After that I was like "OOH speedloader" , and shot the last 5 bullets I had. Now, going from a .22 semi auto to a .38 snubbie with +P rounds was about all I could handle. Anyway, it was nice getting out.
