Whatcha been shootin?
« on: April 25, 2014, 02:56:37 PM »
Over the winter mostly my S&W3953 9mm, P220, and Springfield MilSpec 1911. Until the safety broke and Springfield's outstanding customer service got it back to me in a few weeks. I love shooting 1911's, but I think my MP son is going to grab it from me when he comes home on leave. :frown:

Weathers turning nice so its about time to break out the long guns. I have a 5.56mm course coming up and maybe I'll burn some of that 7.62mmx39 I have laying around. It would be fun to take the Boomers out a few times this summer. What self respecting rifleman could be without a .338 or .375? :D

Oh and maybe its Cowboy time with the Vaquero. Gotta spin some Colt loads up.

They call it "common sense", then why is it so uncommon?

You mean they make other ammo than 7.62x39 and 7.62x54r? :D
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

I've been distance shooting lately. Spent some time shooting at 400yrds with my TRG-42  (338 Lapua)  shooting sub 2" 5 shot groups
Also been shooting my Lazzeroni chambered in 7.82 Warbird at between 250/350yrds. Doing really well. Guess my 20/15 vision is still dead on.

Also been playing with my Paul Jaeger custom in .308. I haven't messed with the scope on that rifle in 10yrs and she is still dead balls on at 200  I'll shoot sub 1" groups with her and clover leafs at 100.  She is the living embodiment of a tack driver.

Really need to get some pistol time in but I'm having way to much fun ATM with my rifles

Sporting clays season is right around the corner.  Really looking forward to getting out and walking the course. 


Working a stressful job. I love the down time spent shooting.  It's me the gun and the target. WAY cheaper than professional stress reduction  therapy    :lol

I am about to get my Ruger M77 .25-06 out for some target practice after my somewhat embarrassing deer season.  I'm gonna take it out to the range and get it sighted in ~500 yards.  I know deer are never that far away, and if I cant back the truck up to it, I'm not gonna shoot it.  But I like feeling like a sniper every now and again.

Now for pistols, I've been hitting the indoor gun range here in town with my Springfield 1911, S&W .40 and my Ruger Vaquero .357

No branch lol, but i see what you did there tho.. the deer, because they run fast and are wilder beasts will elude your shooting skills.. so you need to balance this with more proficiency..

man that lapua is a wicked gun, my dads buddy smoked a few antelope out around 1200 yards, my dad shoots a 30-378 which is another at&t cartridge.  I will stick to my 300 mag though  :cheers: doesnt cost as much in ammo, although I do reload.  speaking of reloading are any of you having problems getting powder?  I have looked high and low to get imr 4831 and cant get it anywhere, dont want to switch as I can shoot 3" groups at 600 yards

I've never really deer hunted in the sense of go out at 4:00 am and sit there freezing my bellybutton off waiting for a deer to walk up to my feeder so I can take a well aimed shot from a distance, and then drag the thing all the way back to the camp.  The way I was taught was to drive around with the heater on and the guns out the window.  The idea is basically to drive up on the deer and quick draw the sucker while he is still standing there deciding to run or not, then load the dead deer in the back of the truck and be home in time for lunch. When you hunt like this, all you need is an open sight 30-30
