What did you shoot today?

[hoardingthemanual]

Shot my 9mm reloads for the first time. They felt stouter than factory Blazer 115 gr FMJ. I’m using 5.6 gr Power Pistol under 115 XTP. The fireball is a first too. No chronograph today. I’m gonna back off the load for next range day.

Today in the backyard range:

Smith & Wesson SW9F 9mm
Sig P320 9mm
AR 15 6.8spc
Ruger Mini 30 7.62x39

I neglected my M&P9 long enough and took it out today for some range time. I have some Gallant bullets loaded in 9mm with a minimum charge of W231 and they shoot very well from this pistol. The 10 went down in the first shot but the 7 took six more to hit it. I also tried some fast shooting. The local range won’t let you shoot from draw, so I started with the pistol in the bench, mag loaded and slide locked back. The drill was grab pistol, drop slide, and shoot three rounds in all in three seconds. The initial grip makes all the difference.

Shot my S&W 4506-1 and Glock 43x. Grandson shot his 6.5 CM Bergara.

I finally shot my first match with an optic. Went pretty well. I wanted to get a second practice session in with this gun but didn't manage to do it before. Only had a couple of targets where I had trouble finding the dot. Going to take a little getting used to but I'm happy with how it went. CZ Tac Sport with SRO optic.

Beretta M-85bb, testing my first 380 Auto handloads. Everything went swimmingly.

Well..... frustrating.
I had reassembled the "Aussie L1A1 on Imbel"'s FAL's gas tube correctly, with the bottom 'flat'/recess directly over the retainer pin (+ Correct gas plug position etc). I had disassembled it only because the gas tube's (knob) selector needed to run on #1 or #3 - and it depended on which of my west Euro ammo brands (new Lith. GGG or new Swiss Saltech: ---none are outsourced---). Should have left the rifle alone, because it functioned in semi-auto.

But today even Less gas was available to push the piston-- it would hardly eject either ammo type, on the fully-closed gas selector setting : #0.

Will have a club member look at the gas system. He built a pair of FALs before I met him.

My target stand. Well, my son did. Nothing some duct tape didn’t fix.

 

[Walkalong]

My target stand.

Heh, it happens.

I got a chance to shoot fifty rounds of 230 ball through my Tisas "Tanker". Was shooting indoors and at 15 yards but towards the end I was getting tired and my hand was hurting and I pulled one into the seven ring.

The "Tanker":



My hand:

 

[stonebuster]

Shot 100 rounds 38spl in a well worn NY DOC trade in Model 10 loaded with 158gr Xtreme RNFP over 4.3 grains HP-38. Then I tried some 38spl158gr Xtreme RNFP over 6.2 grains HS-6 w/Win SPP that I had marked when I had a consistency problem with my Lee Auto Drum. It was giving me light drops occasionally when I checked against the beam scale. I thought I'd corrected the problem but after a couple of the first 25 shots sounded weaker & smokey with unburned powder flakes in the barrel I stopped before I stuck one. The beater Model 10 is my sacrificial lamb when I think I may have a potential squib problem.

Ruger day on the backyard range:

Ruger Mark IV 22/45 22lr
Ruger GP 100 357mag
Ruger American Ranch 7.62x39

 

[irishlad]

Shot my Savage Desert Tactical 6.5 CM. Grandson shot his Bergara 6.5 CM and his Glock 43x mos. Chronograph on the ground did not work out well. Still not low enough. Next time he'll shoot out of the truck bed. 15 round PSA mags worked flawlessly.

I see your grandson is left handed. That chrono will never read correctly for him.
I think your problem here is that you purchased a right hand chronograph. You probably need to replace it with a left hand model.

Many people aren't aware there are two different ones.

Isn't the rifling reverse twist as well? You know, to offset the corona effect of the Earth's rotation and spin of the bullet......

Cooper Arms model 22. 22-250AI
Fireformed cases today.

 

[Bartojc]

Shot my home brew 10/22 yesterday. Only second time out since I built it. Testing a few types of ammo @ 50 yards. Wanted to go to 100 but was running out of time and it was getting windy.

[Targa]

Took the King Cobra out for the first time.

Only in the northern hemisphere. It’s reversed in Australia.

 

[PO2Hammer]

Endured the road construction on US 53 in Wisconsin to get to my favorite range. Shot some .357” revolver bullets out of my 9mm Ruger PCC.

These are Rainier plated .357” 125 RN FP loaded with 4 grains of Bullseye. They’ve been very accurate in every 9 I’ve tried them in.

Shot well at 100 yards from the bench, but I shot poorly after taking the red dot off. No problem with the ammo or the sights, just was unsteady. Called it quits and drove home.

Was bothered by my poor shooting, so I put a 4x scope on the carbine and headed to my other range just a few miles away.

Shot much better, finished with a 3” group at 50 yards standing. Feeling better about my shooting now.

 

[MrShooter]

Shot some steel with my PSA 223 wylde, it has the giessele super semiautomatic enhanced trigger. I'm super happy with that trigger, I'm still kicking myself for not buying a couple more when they were on sale at PSA for only 150.

 

[bubbaturbo]

Suppressed Ruger 10/22 with a Sig Romeo 5 I just got. Kind of experimenting with red dots. Also trying out CCI Quiet 22 Semiauto ammo to see if it would cycle and it did. Regular Quiet 22 won't.

 

[hutch51]

Indoor range, Colt GI 1911 and Rock Island GI 1911. About 175 rounds between the two.
Tried out different magazines in the Rock Island. It has had trouble in the past on empty magazines, as in I would have to rip the magazine out on occasion. Wilson Combat type 47 magazines eliminated the problem but wanted a real fix so replaced the RI slide lock with a Colt unit. Wilson combat 920 series, Colt, Ruger magazines all worked no problem.
Cleanup done in the basement to music. Wife doesn't appreciate the aroma of Hoppes #9.

 

[Mars5l]

Made Sunday a lever day. Wanted to try and break in and smooth out my new Uberti 1873. Also brought my Henry Golden Boy. The Uberti was accurate, could probably really have some nice groups shooting from a rest

Will let you know in three days.
