Veterens' day at the range

Post by Ojaileveraction » Tue Nov 12, 2019 10:17 am

Had a pleasant day at the club range Monday. Shooting a meeting people, talking lever guns.
Took me Marlin '84cl in 25-20WCF and Winchester '92 short rifle in 357 mag.
Had some test round to compare and some assorted 357 loads that needed to be recycled.

The 84, I compared a H110 load and some H4198 loads varying up and down 1/2 grain from 9-10.5.

The H4198 at 9.5g performed the best for me

The 357 were h110 wild to some A2400 mild. My favorite loads of 125g and 158g bullets over 9.3g A2400 stood out.

I was first to arrive at the range a couple fellas got there as I was setting up.
I was ready and it looked like there ready so I walked over to coordinate and saw their lever guns.

Were there any folks shooting 1911's or M1 carbines/ Garands?

Sounds like a nice range.

Veterans Day for me brings memories of gathering with several friends for pheasant hunting. Sadly, a memory now. Friends moved on, birds too. Bummer.

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Looks good Ojail. Nice to be out there with other shooters I bet. Especially on Veterans Day.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Lots of guns but ok did notice vintage1911s and M1s though I don't think carbine. Also a WW1 Springfield and a Trapdoor.
