What did you shoot today?

Not a thing today. It's a bit too windy (again) and I have two appointments that have to be kept even if it wasn't. Yesterday I managed to sight in and shoot three 22 rimfires and a 17 HMR. The day started out pleasant but the wind hit that's still blowing hit while I was at the range and I finally gave up. I was ammo testing after getting everything sighted in from the winter scope swapping and it became a waste of ammo. If the weather forecast is accurate it will be next week before things settle down.
 
Tested (chrono) some new loads made with coated bullets (9mm). These went through a Walther PPQ.

Recently got a Colt 1908 in .380 from my father-in-law. 2nd time out with it - but this time it was a bit more of a serious range session....checking out how well it shot, etc. (It shoots great.)

Those things alone would have made it great. But I found a bunch of .380 cases, plus a bunch of 9mm. I didn't need the 9mm (but took them anyway since they were just sitting there) but was thrilled with the .380s that were found.
 
Weatherguy changed his mind----again. It's supposed to be pretty nice tomorrow. I'm loading up two GG daughters and heading to the range early tomorrow morning. The kids will have fun and that means grandpa will too. :thumbup: Various 22's will get a workout.
 
Shot 250 rounds of 45acp through my Blackhawk and 150 Rounds of 38 Spl +p through my Dan Wesson mod 15 -2 Was a great afternoon for shooting and was happy with the groups! Knuckles are a little sore ! Got the tumbler running right now, and will be reloading them tomorrow. A great afternoon. Oh I fogrgot also put 100 rounds of .22 through the Berreta Neos
 
Yesterday, my new Ruger Mark IV for the first time, and my Kel-Tec PMR30. The new Ruger is amazingly accurate, and will be fine for steel challenges. Not a single malfunction. No malfunctions on the PMR30, either, as I learn better to load the magazine right the first time.o_O
 
Cowboy action match in Cassville, Missouri. (We were able to get one in between tornadoes and floods! :eek:). Two Ruger Old Armies, a Uberti 1873 .357 Magnum, and a 12 gauge Browning double, all spitting smoke and fire blackpowder loads. Got’em cleaned and watching the Royals and Rangers from my Lazy Boy, Jameson’s over ice.

Folks, that’s a fine Saturday.
 
We took a few revolversn acouple of 22lr rifles, a AR15 and a new to me T/C Encore. I took the 17hmr, 204 ruger and 30/06 barrels.
We shot from 7.30 to noon. Nice day all the way around.

Took just one gun to the range today. The ever faithful Beretta Nano. They have a upgraded model out the APX carry. I see no reason to upgrade a gun that already is shooting top notch. Love this gun more every range session. Came home and ordered a new Holster. Bought more mags on sale.

You're killing me, stop posting that. :D
 
Hi...
My son and I spent the morning at the gun club.
Shot several .45Colt revolvers, a few .357Mag revolvers, a couple of his .45ACP handguns and both his 10mm auto pistols.

He shot his brand new Taylor's Gunfighter in .357Mag. Strange issue...handloads that shoot great in a half dozen other .357s are occasionally keyholing out of this revolver at 15yds.
Load is an Everglades 158gr plated SWC over a moderate load of Blue Dot(9.8gr) in .357Mag cases.
Not all the time and it doesn't seem to be specific to any particular charge hole in the cylinder.
We will be shooting it again with some jacketed bullet loads before we decide if it needs to go back for correction.
 
Canik TP9SFX, I had to install the replacement red dot. The Vortex warranty is real!
S&W 5906, just because
RIA 9mm Tac, testing Wilson mags, they work!
S&W 1911, checking out a couple of loads. I found a very soft shooting target load.
Springfield TRP, see above.
 
Catching up from last week .Fired a box of Aguila mini shells with Moss 500, the Opsol clip worked but slipped out when receiver got warm .Also fired a couple hundred rounds with 5906 and Shield, wanted to shoot my 686 today but kept falling asleep

Hi...
Busy day at the shooting ranges yesterday.
After breakfast, my son and I went over to one of the gun clubs and tested some loads on paper.
Good success with my 180gr loads for my .357Mag revolvers. Accuracy was excellent out to 15yds in three different Ruger BlackHawks. I need to load up a couple hundred more of those to test at 25yds and then 50yds.
Did well with my .45Colt SBH and Contender at 25 yds with Hornady 250gr HP/XTPs. Nice tight groups...will need to adjust the sights on the Contender about an inch to the right. If that proves success, then we will be ready to test those loads at 50yds.
My son shot his Ruger 1911 in 10mm very well out to 25yds. He is still having keyholing issues with the new Taylor .357Mag...we tested it with Hornady 158gr HP/XTPs and it keyholes them as well as plated bullets.
He is pretty disgusted considering this is a brand new revolver. He is going to give them a call and see what they think.

After about three hours, we took a break for lunch. After lunch, we went over to a different gun club that has steel plates on the handgun range.
We spent about three hours shooting dueling trees and steel plates with a variety of handguns.
We shot somewhere around 250 rounds each of .45Auto, 10mm, .357Mag and 9mm.
A small number of .45AutoRim and a few hundred rounds of .22LR.
At the end of the day, I have two .30cal ammo cans full of empty brass to tumble plus a few hundred more in plastic cartridge boxes.

Other than an hour break for lunch at Chic-fil-A, we spent the entire day from 9AM until 4:30PM shooting.
Altogether, we had eight .357s, four .45Colts, two .22LR, two 10mm, one 9mm, three .45Auto and one .45AutoRim, plus one semi automatic HK rifle in .22LR. My son may have had another one or two 9mm handguns with him that I didn't shoot.

Fun day shooting...guns to clean and brass to run through the tumblers.
