That's the trouble with having a selection available. It's hard to decide. I'm heading to the hunting lease next weekend and have been debating which ones to take myself. So I can't help you.

You must have really small guns if you can settle it that way.

Every other trip, I make the mistake of taking too many things and trying to do too much. Generally, I enjoy rangetrips with one or two guns, and a shortlist of things I want to accomplish.

When I take too much, invariably, I

a) forget to bring something (ie. ammo), rendering part of the haul of guns inert

b) get to the range on a crowded day and lack room to spread out my gear

c) fail to complete a task I took gun X there to do in the first place

d) RUN OUT OF TIME

e) Get home tired and perturbed at my screw ups

f) TOO MANY GUNS to clean!

I know what you mean palehorse, i made the mistake of taking 4 ML one day. 4 hours of cleaning everything including my self.

figured it out.
silver eagle with 65grs of pyrodex p, trying to get something to group (being hard headed about this one lol)

disc original, 85grs of triple 7 2f, rem sts primers. starting with tc sure fires supplied sabots then to cast bullets

taking my 96/22 just to kill time if I have to wait on people, going to an free public range on saturday hoping people would be out bow hunting
