Been WAY too long

Today was the first day of the summer season that I shot a powder burner. The only shooting I've done this season so far has been by air.
I'm at the cabin and decided to shoot a bit today. I chose my BBS 357 20". It wears a 1-3×20 Weaver scope. Also, on my hip was my EDC 9mm.
First was the 357. I set up at approx. 40 yds. I used the deck railing as a rest. The first 5 rounds into the anatomical target were PMC 158 gr. JSP. First five were a bit high. Second five, I held under a bit and the results weren't bad.

I then loaded up 10 rounds that Vaquero ( Randy ) prepared for me a while back and shot at a different target. He would have to give you the recipe as I don't reload. He was kind enough to give them to me.
I, personally was impressed with the load. It helped me look better on paper.

I think two of the 10 went through open passages.

I then tried my EDC 9mm on the anatomical target, standing, from about 5 yrds. or so. 14 rounds rather quickly. I'm ok with those results.as well.

Nice shooting. Especially if it's been a while. I know that feeling. I have been wanting to get back on the range, but my medical supervisor is against it while the temps are over 100. Especially while they are in the 105 range. Soon....

Great job....

Looks like you had a good time. Good shooting.

[Vaquero]

Nice shooting all around Mark.
Those I loaded were the 180 gr Pugnose bullet from Missouri Bullet co.,
over 11.4 grs of 2400.
Looks like a deadly comb there, Sir. You are more than welcome.
Glad you finally got some range time in.
You ended the Official shooting month with a bang.

Nice shooting Mark and it was nice of Randy to load up a few for you. I haven’t gone out shooting much this summer also.

That looks really nice Mark. Good shooting.

Nice groups, Mark. Glad you got out to burn some powder. Keep shooting and enjoy.

Darn good shooting there Mark; both rifle and pistol. Those 180's in .357 are a hoot. Glad you got out and found some trigger time.

Ohhhhhhh, that target sure has a headache.

Nice shooting with both.
