What did you do at the range today?

I had a blast. We have been doing a Sunday Gunday for about a month now. We got everyone on track with shooting in various positions and ranging, reading wind and such. Today was the first walk through course I have set up out there with any distance. Over the course of the week I will reset the targets and have a new course next Sunday.
 
Discovered that neither 2.7 grains nor 2.9 grains of Accurate Nitro 100NF behind a 147 grain plated RN bullet will cycle the action on my Glock 17. I’m hesitant to go above 3 grains because that’s over the limit for some comparable bullets, despite achieving speeds of less than 900 fps.

I’m going to try Win244 next.

Winchester 231 has been my go-to for decades for 9mm, .40, and .45. It's a tremendously versatile pistol powder, with a ton of load data out there.
