What did you shoot today?

[SecondsCount]

Not sure if this should be a "What did you shoot today?" or a "The world around you" post 😀

I spent the weekend down in southern Utah hanging out with my older son. There is a range just north of Zion NP, and we brought along a 16" SR-15 with a P4Xi and a Bergara B14R 22LR.





With the SR-15, we got bored with hitting the targets at 140, 303, and 410 yards, and decided to try a flat rock at 605. Ammo was 69 grain reloads and we found that the drops on the BDC reticle were just a little high.

Picture taken through the scope with the rock circled, about a 2 MOA sized target.

I hit the range after work today and just brought my carry piece as I normally do. Started with Dot Torture at 4 yards and shot a 49/50 going way faster than I normally would, lost focus and dropped a WHO shot. Then I decided to shoot some bill drills both from a Level 1 SL and my concealment rig. Somewhat surprising was I just a hair faster from AIWB, and ended up with my fastest bill drill to date. Now to be fair it was 5As and 1C but considering that C wasn’t far out of the A zone I’ll take it. To be honest I don’t know how much faster I can physically go with a 45 and my full power hand loads (load a max charge of HP-38), but I’m considering loading something more “mid-level” to see if I can reduce my splits just for fun.

3rd Gen Glock 26 with Trijicon night sights in an outdoor, short range mini gun USPSA style match. 51 As, 1 C. One of the best A counts. Totally crap time totals as I meander between shooting places. Took a couple of make up shots for visible Cs. Reason, practicing for hits more than time. Fastest folks, lots of Cs, but some with lots of As also. Fun match, fun guys. Complimented on being 75 and still banging away. Bah, don't like being old. Better than the alternative though. Still got the hand strength. Recoil, racking, not a problem.

Was bright out and some folks said it washed out their dots.

Yesterday OK?

Took my two newest purchases, which couldn't be any more different.

First was my new to me Ruger Vaquero in .45lc with a box each of Hornady Cowboy loads and one of Lost River's boxes of 270gr Semi Wadcutters.

Next up, I zeroed the Aimpoint on my new SBR upper. It's a new build featuring a 12.5" middy Noveske SS barrel, a BCM 10" MCMR rail, Sionics NP3 BCG, BCM Mod3 Charging Handle, standard Ballistic Advantage upper, and standard BCM A2 flash hider. With VLTOR A5 RE and Buffer it's pretty sweet shooting.

Over the past couple years I've been able to acquire some nice pieces but haven't had much time to actually shoot them. Today I managed to get a few of them out for some trigger time.

Aero Precision M5, 18" barrel. Put 100 round of British surplus through it, had a single instance where it didn't pick up a fresh round for some reason but it was noticeably stiff being a brand new gun and all.

NEF Handi-rifle in .223 with a Leupold 2-7 on top. Got the scope dialed in and was having fun busting dirt clods when the extractor stuck.



Very common issue on these guns. But I didn't have a cleaning rod or any way of clearing it or cleaning it so I set it aside and moved on.

P365 didn't kick as much as I expected, but it is a small 9mm and still kicks a bit. It aggravated the problems I've been having with my wrist so I only shot 50 rounds but it didn't balk. Fortunately I have an appointment with a specialist tomorrow to get my wrist looked at and hopefully I can get that fixed soon.

Finally I brought a .45 Hi-Point. A buddy at work had bought it and never shot it so he let me have it for $100, still unfired. These things don't kick very much but the slides are so heavy that they make the gun very flippy. Whatever, I just think it's funny to have in the safe with all the much nicer guns I have managed to collect over my years.

I also brought my .38 LCR but I forgot to bring any .38 special ammo.

Lately I’ve been shooting more rifles than pistols. In April, I only shot one USPSA match but I shot 4 rifle matches this month: a rimfire PRS match, a rimfire NRL22 match, a PRS centerfire match, and a centerfire long range varmint steel match. Plus a few practice sessions between matches.

All that practice is paying off. I won the rimfire PRS match, took 2nd place in the NRL22 match, placed 5th in the varmint match plus a bump to EXP class, and placed 11th in the centerfire PRS match. Wind calls continue to be my biggest challenge, but overall I’m pretty happy with my match performance given the ‘heat’ in those matches. In the rimfire matches, the delta among the top 3 is coming down to one hit/miss and bonus time points.

My rimfire rifle is a Vudoo V-22 w/ 22” no-taper Bartlein barrel in a XLR Envy Pro chassis. My centerfire is an Impact 737 action w/ Proof competition contour barrel in 6mmGT in a MDT ACC chassis. Both have the XTR Pro 5-30X56 scope w/ SCR2 reticle and both have the Trigger Tech 2-stage trigger.

This wasn't today, but I wanted to wait for the calculator to run before I got too excited.
I put about a hundred rounds through the Kimber across a few short sessions before the match, but otherwise have not touched it since last year.
The plan was to round out my percentage to get it into proper M territory again.
With 3 solid stages plus 3 from last year, I exceeded that a bit

This past weekend I put around a hundred rounds through my Remington LTR with a Bushnell Elite Tactical 3-12. It was at a Forge Tactical sniper skill builder course. Most of the shots were off the tripod. My old rifle was the only non chassis rifle on the line.
