Even though I'm about an inch of rain away from building an ark...decided to hit the range today. Didn't even bother to set up a target stand (the concrete patio and the berm are high ground, the "floor" of the range is currently a 3" deep pond), just picked out random bits of trash that fucktards have left on the berm and poked holes in them.
Felt like a circle-y gun kind of day.
Also ran a few rounds through my 12 gauge "firearm" that's wearing a barrel from Vang, via @GJM.
Ended the day with a few mags out of my carry gun...which is something that I do every time I hit the range.
Too windy to shoot outside today, so I took my 4" 629 and about 100rnds of various handloads to the local indoor range to see what works as a good field load (both in terms of shootability and accuracy).
I used two different bullets, the Lee 310gr WFN-GC and the RCBS 44-250k SWC.
Powders were Alliant 2400 and Unique.
I think I'll be standardizing on the load using the 250gr SWC with 19gr 2400. That'll be my field load. I'll use the same bullet with a near max charge of Trail Boss for fun shooting.
I'll revisit the 310gr loads once I have an opportunity to cast some more.
Those small grips made it kind of rough on my hand even with a leather shooting glove. I peeled the skin back from my thumb just above the first knuckle.

Practiced with the wheelguns today, working double-action triggers. Fired with two hands, and then WHO.
Shot a 2" S&W Model 15, a 4" S&W Model 15, and a 6" S&W Model 15. Much fun.
CQB Saturday with some Milt Sparks goodness!
Sunday’s with six guns(Thunder Ranch revolvers!!) along with Milt Sparks and Kramer leather!!
Not today but from 2 weeks ago:
New to me P30 v3S
Since I got back into TDA after years of trying to like Glocks, I've been wanting to try another HK. Using the small grip panels and back strap this fits my hand almost perfectly. Unfortunately I prefer the trigger of and (so far) shoot a little better with the PX4. Double unfortunately I made a trade with the youngest boy and he got the PX4 before I paid the P30 out. DOH! Looks like I'll need to start looking for another PX4. I might look for a used PX4CC.
MkIV 22/45 Lite
Primary Arms ran a special on their blem micro-dots not long ago and for $70 I figured it was worth a try. I don't know what the blem is but if they run the special again, I'll get at least one more. I was using the target to sight in 2-3 other pistols and the 2 circled groups were the last two I used to confirm the sight in, 10 rounds each benched at 7yds. I'm giving serious thought to dropping the Apex trigger kit into it, especially if I can retain the stock trigger instead of having to use a flat trigger.
GP100 .357
Finally sighted in the FastFire on this one and decided to quit while I was ahead. Benched at 7yds, 6 rounds of Magtech 158g flat point ammo.

Carbine match this AM, first with the Eotech. I made hits atop a roof barricade on 300y IPSC steel target, something I could not do with a Micro due to my vision. 200y half IPSC from same shooting position was borderline easy. Up close that donut is nice. Overall, very happy with it thus far.
