Range Report: daily plinking

[North Country Gal]

Love your tink and ding pair, I really do. I've always admired the Winchester 1892. I think it was one of John Brownings best. It's as good as it gets in a lever action carbine.

Thanks, and I agree on one of JB's best. They are a little more difficult to tear down, but it is a very robust action.
They carry so well.

Lovin that old Winchester as I glance over my shoulder at the wall and see my old 44-40 1892! Have to get it out again when the weather cools off. Randy I assume you load for 25-20?

Oh, Yes Sir. As I do for Everthing I shoot.
When you can even find a box of 25-20 you'll pay through the nose.
That being said I do have "one" box of factory stuff.
I've had it for a good while, even back then I think I paid like $75-80 for it.

Just looked at Ammoseek and they show some $109.99 to $135.99 per a box of 50.

Okay this is definitely plinking! Hot outside and I'm at home. Found my Spear 38 plastic bullets and wrapped a piece of tape around one to fit the .360 bore of Mister Pepper. Load just the primer of course and set a box up with target against a filing cabinet in the garage.
Step back 12 ft. and same downward tilt of revolver and took 2 shots. Not bad and plastic bullet went thru both sides box and hit the cabinet. You can see the slug hit dead on and no key hole by looking at imprint.
Only bad thing is primer gets pulled back and lodges under the hammer in the cutout. About all the fun you can have in the city!

I finally got off the tractor and lawn mower. I’m now mowing about seven acres and it seems this place eats all my time. I plunked at the gongs after mowing in front of them.

On a side note I ordered some custom made targets last Friday. I haven’t heard back from the welder. It all depends on if he can get the parts at a reasonable price.

Stay tuned.

Yes... always leave a bit of time after range work to enjoy a couple shots!

I’m trying to get lawn mowing plinking into the Summer Olympics.

[North Country Gal]

Nah! Once you add rules and official scoring, then it would no longer be plinking. Keep the rules and regulations out of it.

Hadn't thought of that, but it's doable here in the yard.
Put the shoulder holster on and slip one of the 22 revolvers in it.
Randomly plink a gong as I make a pass.

I like it.
