Today was my birthday and she bought me a couple cool things...

One is a "silver bullet" - 1 oz silver shaped like a 45 ACP:
260040

Then she gave me the REALLY cool thing...
260041

This is for my Marlin - we'll see if I can reach out to 1000 or even 1500 yards... Yeeessssssss!

Also, best thing about today was one of the ranges I belong to is a private range. I'm in SoCal, so EVERYTHING is shutdown... But my range is open to members who know the padlock code... ;)
So, I went and shot a bunch of 44s and 40s at the pistol range on some steel targets -- ALONE.
I also sent one 44 a little high and hit one of my target holders...
260042

Good birthday. ;)

Look at the upside. 1) You now have some. garden fertilizer, 2) You have powder containers appropriate for either use or display, and 3) You have a perfect reason to restock with full containers. Hopefully it comes out of the household budget rather than your hobby budget.

Yeah - we have a cool one. It's on the Pala indian reservation... The furthest target is 880 yards. There's also a 100 yard pistol range and a 50 yard shotgun range.

All I can say is WOW! Just WOW! Our club property has nearly 400 acres and is accessible to members via a combination lock (changed annually) on the front gate... we have a 300 yd rifle range and a 50 yd pistol range, but we’re primarily a shotgun club with 5 skeet fields, 3 trap fields, 2 sporting clays courses, and a five-stand setup. The rifle and pistol ranges usually aren’t all that busy.

Back to the intent of this thread though, yesterday I got another sample of 32 S&W Longs loaded, this time a box of MP 100 gr hollow points over 3.2 gr of WW 231. I hope to get some more casting done today as well as maybe loading a box or two of different bullets... I’ve also got some swaged stuff that I’d like to have available when I start testing my K-32, maybe next week. I’ve got one of the old Mequon Pistol Rests (poor man’s Ransom Rest) so maybe I’ll even try to be scientific. 8-)
