Went to the range with the wife yesterday.
I had put on a new scope and wanted to sight it in. Bore sighted, loaded a MilSurp round, 7.62, and fired. Almost nest to the target. I use a sand back to sight in, I can see where the rounds go.
Three rounds and I was on the point. I had brought some old paper patches I had made. Loaded them, and as usual, they hit a little high.
After about a couple of years, the paper patched loads were still intact. What little wax I used did not yellow, or was there any issues with the patches.
Load and fire!
The range got some primers. I am a member so I can get a brick. One brick! 35$!
Well, it went home.
The range officers all gathered around my wife and myself at the range. Hardly any semi-s, One AK in semi, two Bushmasters. The rest were .22s. Used to be, high power, now mostly .22s.
CHANGE.
The old timers, like my paper patched loads. They like to see them fire.
No more berm mineing, few high powers.
LOts of room at the range. I got sighted in pretty good.
