    I've got some Hornady 75 gr BTHP Match from the great "make some 223 subsonic rounds for the suppressor" experiment. I'll try some of those.

    AFAIK every aftermarket trigger uses OEM trigger bars. Nobody makes their own.

    Took my Aero Precision AR15s out today. First time taking them out since they got back from the smith. Got to play with my new Meopta Optika6 1-6x LPVO, too.

    Gorgeous day. Had a little trouble getting zeroed with irons but I got there. The Meopta is an awesome piece of glass. The center 3MOA dot is a little bit big for precise shooting at 100yd but it is definitely very fast and easy to use.

    Both rifles acquitted themselves nicely, fed fired and ejected a variety of ammunition with no complaints. Very happy now that I finally feel as if I have both guns where I want them.

    The rain storms took a breather long enough or me to make it to the range and live fire test my new Ruger Speed Six stock (actually a Security Six stock that I simply mounted to my Speed Six). Great success! The gun no longer hurts my hand when firing full power .357 Magnum ammunition. And the gun and its stock remained attached to one another throughout the course of my range trip, which is always nice.

    No picture of the dirty gun or the brass, but good grief this Magtech ammo is filthy! The Fiocchi .357 brass looked clean enough to be reloaded straight away. This... Not so much.

    Now I just need to learn how to shoot the bloody thing... Ain't as easy as a 9mm pop gun.

    Joined an indoor range close to me last month and Monday I did my first shooting there. Confirmed zero on both Ruger MKIVs and finally zeroed the OM Single Six, S&W Model 63 and .45 Blackhawk, all at 10 yards for now. After that I shot all of the revolvers on several of the EK Challenge targets with mediocre results. I managed to keep most shots on the target card but not in the ace. Just means more work to be done.

    I'm used to outdoor ranges and the club I belong to has target boards at 7/15/25 yards for handguns and the steel targets are somewhere around 20 yards. At the indoor range I only saw 1 target run out to 25 yards and that was just a few rounds while someone was trying out their laser. Everyone else was at 3-7 yards and blazing away with plastic people poppers while I was running B8s and sheets of playing cards out to 10 yards and shooting them with revolvers. Very surreal...

    Got up early and took the 244AI and the SR-15 to the long range. Wind was a little tricky early on but settled down nicely about halfway into the shooting session.

    There is a Know Your Limits target at 545 yards that has 8, 6, 5, 4, and 3" targets. I was able to tag all of them with the 244 AI loaded with 87 Vmax running close to 3450FPS.

    With the SR-15 loaded with 62 BTHP handloads, I was able to go 5/5 on the coyote at 440 and 5/5 on the silhouette at 545.

    Bought our 7 y/o grandson a surprise a couple of weeks ago. They just came over and he loves it. Of course grandpa had to take it for a spin to make sure it worked out of the box. Testing, yeah that’s the ticket...

    Today I met my son at the range and we ran some drills with the AR's and pistols that we made up as we went along. This range has two 6" targets on a hillside at 142 and 145 yards, and we setup four reduced silhouettes between 25 and 75 yards.

    For the first drills, which were inside of 50 yards, I started out with my CMMG 22LR kit in a Palmetto upper with an Aimpoint. Lots of fun for cheap and 100% reliable with Remington Thunderbolt. P30 was the pistol of choice, as usual

    The SR-15 with the Bushnell 1-8.5 worked 100% as well. Ammo was some simple 55FMJ reloads, in both L5AWM and PMags.
