Range Report - It's a good life
« on: January 02, 2009, 04:54:59 PM »
Really.  Really.  Really, wanted to go to the outdoor range and work on my AR and other rifles, but the weather didn't cooperate.   SO, it was the indoor range today (see related post on getting shot).

I try to have a plan. 
1)  Exercise my wife's Charter Bulldog and chew up some of the older .44spl ammo.  DONE.
2)  Practice with my XD9...can't draw at this range but can rapid fire.   DONE.
3)  Saw video on the Camp Perry Revolver match, so I thought I'd take my 686 and some .38spls and try one handed stuff.  DONE (poorly).
4)  Shoot a little .357 Mag stuff through the 686.   WELL DONE (see below....I make that a 99-7x)

When the weather clears, I'm going to go to an IHMSA match.  Been 20 years since I did the last one.   Only an "A" shooter, but I think I've improved.

HAPPY NEW YEAR,  YA'LL.

AGREED, VERY WELL DONE. If it weren't for the 3 flyers I'd say Ransom rest. I'll stir up a little S--t and say this why I buy S&W revolvers, if it won't shoot, just a little fiddling and it will. I think the L frame has been the most accurate time after time DA revolver ever built, and the short lived but I still want one, Model 15 with the full underlug barrel. Pythons had that moniker until the L frame came out, and the S&W is much more reliable and stronger than a python.

What class do you shoot in IHMSA?

And of course HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What ammo for the T/C? Handloads?

I use 158gr JSP over a load of H110 pushing about 1,800fps.  I think the 158gr is a compromise between trajectory and momentum. 

BTB, one thing I ordered in during the November panic buying was 1,000 .357Max brass.
