Coulda been worse, coulda been better...
« on: January 15, 2014, 09:26:02 PM »
Took Thugly and the combo stand to the range with the 527M/CSR. Got stuck with the range nobody wants, because it's the only one with no pad, bench, just overhead cover. Oh well, beats nothing.



Set up the combo target holder at 100 yards, (haven't used it like this before, but it is cool...as long as you remember the sandbags),



On the line I went...



...tell ya what, why don't we let the video do the talkin'?

After all that, I do have to post up a few paper targets - wasn't great, but wasn't TOO bad...

The best one, 129gr NOE bullet over 21 grains AA#1680



Average one, 125gr Berrys over 28 gr H4895



Funny one, same load - see where the fifth round went?



After that I moved it in close and burnt through a quick 50 rounds of 9mm with the Phantom and the P-01. the Phantom decided it thought some of the 125 grain Lee cast reloads were a wee bit too long, had to tap into battery. The P-01 didn't care, and both did very well.

Oh well, I guess any day at the range can be a good one... 8)

Looks like you managed to have some fun anyways!  :)

Sometimes it's hard to remember everything you need to bring to the Range.  I know I've forgotten some important things.  One time I went to our Club's Range to test some reloads, and brought everything but............the ammunition I was going to test.   ::)

Every time I go to the range it's like going on a trip with my girlfriend, so many things that you have to bring but at the end I always forget something even it's as little as an wrench

Bad day at the range, how about driving 40 miles to the range and discovering you've left your range gate key in another shooting bag? Now imagine it's the only day you have this week to test loads before the weekend match------baddddddddddd !

Sometimes I feel like I'd forget my rear end if it wasn't stapled to me... ;D

Armoredman--great post and a great video.  I love those bolt action rifles.  Mine is too heavy to shoot standing, however! 

Thanks for taking the time to produce and post the rifle video.

Well, since all of my vacation plans fell through one after another, I kinda didn't have anything else to do. ;)

Looks like good time management to me! Not bad offhand shooting either, by the way.
