Default A long day at the range.

I spent 7.5 hours at the range today. I took the Renegade I was working on with the .54 cal. barrel that was on it when I bought it. All the work I did on it to try and save it was all for not I'm affraid. I also took Mini Me. The .32 cal Cva Pioneer pistol. The one that's been sitting in my sock drawer for about 20 years. That thing really surprised me. I'll post some pictures when I finish cleaning them both.

I wasn't too pleased with the performance of the .54 Renagade and I don't have much time tonight so I'll post the targets from that old rust bucket tomorrow. Here are the targets from The .32 cal. Pioneer pistol "Mini Me".

7,5 hours? Ouch!

3 hours here today with pyrodex pellets and IMR White hots. Optima loved 150gr pyro with the 270gr powerbelts but man i hated the swabbing. To make things worse, i forgot my swabbing solution and so i choked on patches for that 3 hours.

Been there, done that. Only I was lucky there was some snow on the ground that day.
