very good shooting!!

nice!!!

As a California resident.............. just want more ammo!!!! lol

Looks like a good day to me!!

I haven't gone yet myself, but I have heard good things about the Winchester 180gr.

Yes indeed!!

Thanks guys!! It was a little frustrating adjusting the front of the gun until I couldn't see the target to shoot. lol

As happens from time to time, our plans changed this weekend. So I went to the range with my pistols. It is over cast and dreary today and I noticed right off the bat (not a Negan bat) that I couldn't see the front sight on the 1911 A1 .22. Makes it hard to shoot you know? Any suggestions on what to...

Only had time to fire a couple of rounds at 200 with my - new to me - m39 last week , but it appears promising http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161024/14d0fea5ec1be58ea1188f22e387b0bd.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Promising indeed!! My M39 shoots much better than I do. :chuckles: I let th...

Sure wish it wasn't so far to go to a long range. There is on in Sacramento that goes out to 1000 yards. Of course the targets grow the farther out it goes. I really need to get to the 200 yard range more than once every year and a half. lol

I work for the company that owns the building. lol

So much fun!! Of course, I'm the only one there with iron sights. Several very good shooters there. It was such a blast. I took my M39, newest 91/30 and the '40 and '42 VKT M91s. I shot the steel a lot. I even had an audience for a minute. First round I hit steel (8" round) once with the 91/30 ...

Sounds like a great day to me!!!

Right?

When using stuff like Hoppes9 that comes in jar, how do you apply it to the patch? Dip it? I've been using a syringe of sorts but it sticks.

After the range today I will see. I did get a new bottle of Hoppes9 cleaner.

Cotton pickin' grammar police!! Even on RMNF!!


Funny thing, I have a very very (I think that's enough "very") long history of mis-naming things. lol Ok ok!! PATCHES!! sheesh.

You are getting better.

I use a lot of Hopps 9 as well.

Nothing was sticky after I started using Frog lube. I use that when I am on my way out to go shoot.

lets see, Pro Shot 1 step cleaner (the stuff that comes with cleaning kits, kind of reddish) and Ballistol was the second. I've put about 400 rounds through since the last time I cleaned it. I am out of, ah hell, I can't remember the name of it now. lol Red stuff? Real smelly, works real good on the...

As I am not overly experienced with hand guns I found it kind of weird that when I cleaned my XD9, the barrel wasn't dirty.

Winchester just some super extra clean rounds? lol

I mean, there was nothing on the wads. Two types of cleaning solution too. No brush though.
