I learned 2 things
I went there about 5 PM to test a new 40 S&W load in the Sig 229
But I took the Glock 17/22 ( I have both a 9 mm and 40 S&W barrel for it ) to try the loads in it also
The Sig 229 LOVED the 180 gr cast bullet load
But the Glock 22 barrel didn't group the load well
I also took a few hundred 9 mm rounds to plink with in the Glock with the 9 mm barrel
The First thing I learned
The 2 other shooters DROOLLED over a coffee can 2/3 full of loaded 9 mm ammo
Almost begging me to SELL them ammo as they had shot up all the ammo they had brought
I told them cast some bullets and load their own ammo
That idea was about like I had called them names and left
The Second thing I learned was I didn't want to shoot reloads from someone that had been at the range earlier
As when I was done shooting , I swept up and collected all the brass
As I use the range brass for ME to reload
I found a bunch of both 9 mm and 45 ACP brass with REALLY Flattened primers
I mean the 45 ACP primers looked like someone had used knife to smear the primers totally FLAT
The 9 mm Primers were even worse
Those primers also had been smeared totally flat
BUT there was signs on most of them that the primers had flowed back into the firing pin hole
But also a lot of the Head Stamps on the 9 mm brass had been almost also smeared flat
I am not sure who it was shooting this ammo or had reloaded the ammo
But IMO they had a time bomb in those loaded ammo
Sort of like 9 MM +P+++
And IMO all to soon someone was soon going to have a pistol come apart at best
OR Have the pistol fail and they would get HURT
As I am now just a member , not a Trustee anymore
I will give the Range Director a call in the morning to give him a heads up
So He can look at the video and maybe tell who needs a talking to
So I knew a lot of people didn't want to take the time to reload
But I would not want to even be at the range when someone was shooting 9 mm ammo loaded that hot
Have a nice day
John
