What did you do at the range today?

[43.6N]

Shot a 10 round group with 88 TMK's from the 223. First load combo tried with a new powder and primer.
ADI Brass, 25.0 Lever, CCi 450's.

Good grief. That’s got to be such a good feeling after dealing with the NAS cases and the pierced primers.
I’ve got a half pound of lever, and plan on a little peer review of this combo lol.

Played around with my new 6 GT. Pretty happy with the load, shooting was just so so.

What are you all using for ear protection these days? I like to double plug it, but finding that muffs get uncomfortable after a while and can interfere with some stock combs.

Plugs and muffs shooting anything unsuppressed, and it varies with suppressed guns. Usually just the plugs if the muffs are getting in the way. Mack's silicone putty plugs are pretty effective, and cheap.

The kids and I have shot a bit of .22lr the last few days and maybe a magazine through the 6.8spc out to ~425. The eye seems to be healing to the point that I'm comfortable with a bit more recoil (it doesn't hurt, I just don't want to push my luck with the new lens).

Anyway, I went to the range by myself about an hour ago. Three shots from the 6.5cm, seated with poles, at 550 yards. 16" plate, the first shot was the worst but still within an (imaginary) ~8.5" circle. And, best, I did this on 8x. I genuinely believe the new lens and being able to see clearly again is going to make me way more comfortable at mid-range magnifications (meaning ~6x to ~12x) again.

Picked up my 22ARC lastnight and took her for a spin this morning. After a quick barrel break in, I walked it out to 700yds then ran out of ammo. Loading more up tonight and will go out to 1k tomorrow

Was 2 weekends ago March 28 went to the Geissele Gas gun match.
Stage 6 moving target at 540 yds
Target moving back and forth @2.8 mph
5 positions on big rocks move after 3 hits. So 15 hits to clean it
90 sec to work your magic
I got 2 hits

9 people cleaned it

On the way to the “range” yesterday. The Tikka 223 with the NXS. 2.5-10x32 is strapped onto the snowboard rack on the tunnel. No care taken outside of how I normally ride. Shows the importance of a gun setup that doesn’t suck.

I picked up brass from last nights activities, painted targets and put in three new targets. Tomorrow is Sunday Gunday.
