A beautiful day for the range

It was in the mid 60's yesterday. I took advantage of that fact and took my 640 pro series and my 327 snub out for a range session. I fully intended to take photographs, but there were plenty of other shooters at the range, so no time for leisurely pics. I shot 125 grn +P hollow point for .38 and 125 grn .357.

I shot at 7 yds and 25 yds. My targets were the inner circle of the standard paper plate. All but the .357 s from the 327 were in at all distances . Most of the .357s were in at 25. I think three were out. That 327 sure bucks hard.

It was a beautiful day for shooting. By the way, I was the only shooter with a revolver.

Edit. I just read this. I should have said that all but one of the plates were in the target except one of the .357 s at the 25 yd mark. Three were out of the center on one on the 327. By the end of the session it was bucking pretty hard.

Glad you had a good weather day to shoot. Not to bad for this time of year. The last couple days that had really nice temps it has been 15+ mph winds and higher at times. We hit 70* for a short time one day this week but very windy so I stayed home and dis stock work.

Nice to see Dave with a Range report even if it lacks the pictures. Now if we could just get him to have a drink with us once in a while all would be good.

Good to see you out shooting, again, Dave. Yeah, the 327 does have some recoil when shooting it in a small handgun, especially with the AE 100 grain loads. There are some 85 grain SD loads, though, that are more comfy to shoot.
