Found 500 rounds of good target grade 22lr today that I thought I had already shot

Also sorted, lubed, deprimed and resized 200 223 cases, thinking about doing another 100 or so. Think I finally have a decent load for my Howa Mini, and if the further testing proves it then I'll be wanting to be ready to load a few hundred at once.

Does that count? Wasn't planning on leaving the house.... but if I gotta....

Can't do it. Will not purchase it in California until the unconstitutional mandatory background check is overturned, not eniugh time to go to Nevada

What Tobra said!

[berettafan]

Damn missed this yesterday! Currently have about 30 cases of shotgun shells on hand, will probably pick up 5 or 10 more as the competition season comes to an end for me.

What I don’t understand is that when I buy ammunition on base (a Federal institution) they still do the California background check.

I grabbed another 2k rds of 9mm yesterday. Probably will get 1k of 5.56 today or tomorrow. When my tax stamp gets approved, I'll need a few pallets of 9mm.

Californiahas no regard for Constitutions, state or federal, that is why

Military installations tend to follow local law, as well. Not sure if they HAVE TO or if it's a good neighbor type thing.

[Tobra]

They do NOT have to do that on base

So to make up for you slackers I loaded another 40 rounds of 223 hit the range and shot them all this morning

Put a half dozen down the tube of the 54 muzzle loader too

So, you spent 5 minutes at the range?

[Rick Lee]

I grabbed a lot more 30 rd. PMags today.

According to my in/out times on the logs it was an hour and 14 minutes... I've had same session go much quicker... and it coulda gone longer.

About 30 min to go thru the muzzle loader stuff (hate sharing range with day pass idiots), then the rest to swap ranges and shoot some groups and bang at the 200 yard steel a bit. Wait for cold, pull target, take apart stand/backer, put in place, grab stuff, walk the 25 yards to next range over, grab stuff to build target stand/backer, wait for cold, put that out, shoot a few groups, wait for cold, move target out, shoot more groups, shoot steel, wait for cold, retrieve target, take apart, etc. wait for hot to handle gun, pack up and leave.

If it had just been me I could have cut the time needed to do all of that in half... But for a short range (for the ML) my choices were to be on the members only range with some 3gun tactiweenies practicing or to share with a couple of daypass yahoos who were having troubles getting a 338 Mag zeroed at 15 yards using one of those super fancy laser-ranging auto-adjusting super-scopes. Had to let the inner Karen out and raise hell about playing with guns and loading mags when the range is cold, etc.

Moved to the long side to shoot the 223 bolt gun, and had it to myself... until I finished putting out the 100 yard target. Got a different daypass yahoo who couldn't see the holes in his paper thru his scope so he wanted to call the line cold after every three shots. Turns out he wanted to share during the long walk back from the targets to the line, and he was the son of the other daypass yahoo on the short range. Eish.... After finishing the 223 I went ahead and packed up and left instead of getting the muzzle loader back out (steel gongs at 200 are fun with the 54 )

I have so much ammo, my kids will be throwing it away.

[Bill Douglas]

I'm going to make some. Assemble it I should say, put all the bits together.

I'm going from .45acp to 9mm so need to change the dies and primer feed over on the Dillon 550b.

I have a new (to me) 9mm. It's a CZ SP-01. So I also need to setup the holster and magazine holders. I've only fired a handful of rounds through it but I sure like it so far.

I've decided I'm going to be next years club champ at speed steel.

Worthy goal. The factory CZ mags are MecGar so order those with confidence and save a couple of bucks

[Bill Douglas]

Thanks. I bought the gun from another guy at pistol club and he bundled in four mags and a holster. Six magazines would be nice for Service Pistol competition. But for the various action IPSC shoots that we do I think I'll be OK with the four. I put a lightened recoil spring in it and changed the foresight to a green fibre optic.
