Work and play at the range today !

Post by fortyshooter » Tue Mar 01, 2022 6:20 pm

Yes today the first of March was a nice one up in the 60's and headed to the range. The work part was getting all the new gun bugs out of my BBR .45...
setting a new bench in place down at the creek which was a neighbor's throw away and then ending the afternoon with some relaxing can plinking with the Cattleman 12 shooter .22 revolver which was the fun part.
The BBR 3.10 has finally come around and was shooting my 230 XTP HP rounds with no feeding issues and the 13 round Para 10 magazine after a stronger spring install was running like it should feeding the hardball and hollow point ammo. You have to maintain a firm push and pull type grip for no feeding/ejecting issues with this one! Plus the front sight stayed put after a day of shooting since I used Loctite 638 and also staked it in place. Ran another 100 rounds thru it and seems to run great now and made a slight windage adjust to get in on center. This will be a nice carry piece! Will have to fill in that crater in the berm from todays fun! :lol:

Got the bench in place at the creek and setup some fresh cans on my target holder across the creek and then enjoy rest of afternoon plinking away with the CCI .22 LR CB's thru the 12 shooter. A great day!

Glad to hear you got the bugs worked out with that BBR. Looks like you had a fun day. Your creek area set up is looking good.

Thanks Paul! Got a bit more to do along the trail there. To be able to ride right to my shooting area with my lawn tractor tow rig I need to cut a couple small trees to give a wider area. One project opens another you know! Will clean up and lube the BBR and run it again when those Lehigh XD bullets
come in and I load some up for test.

Always another project, but what the heck, that's what's keeps us going. Get that trail to the creek opened up and you will have a first class setup.
