Range Report

(00:04:59) Eric: how was shooting today?
(00:11:06) Me: it was good...therapeutic
(00:12:51) Me: 100 rounds through my rifle, after re-zeroing the sights (I had removed and re-attached the barrel, and attempted a poor-man's bedding-job on the barrel and receiver to reduce flex and movement to increase accuracy, so the sights needed to be re-adjusted)...
(00:13:43) Me: then I put 100 rounds through my '617, practicing for the slowfire portion of the Metro Pistol League's bullseye thing...
(00:14:06) Me: that was at 150 feet
(00:14:22) Me: I was able to keep up to 18 out of 20 shots on-paper
(00:14:55) Me: and then put 20 shots through the '617 at 75 feet in rapid-fire, to practice for the rapid-fire portion of the MPL bullseye
(00:15:07) Me: then I got the "time's up" from the range officers
(00:15:21) Me: so I packed up and cleared out, and put my name back on the waiting list
(00:15:38) Me: and, after a 10-minute break, I got back onto the range
(00:15:56) Me: put another 180 rounds through the '617 in rapid-fire at 75 feet
(00:16:09) Me: and then finished up with 100 more rounds through the rifle
(00:16:24) Me: 500 rounds total
(00:16:50) Me: 200 of it was the remington crap, and all of that was through the rifle
(00:17:14) Me: the rest was the better federal stuff
(00:17:26) Me: and that 300 was through the '617
(00:17:56) Me: that's probably the most rounds I've ever put through the '617 in one sitting...
(00:18:08) Me: and the ammo was good enough not to bind up the action on it
(00:18:24) Me: even though it was a bit dirtier than the remington
(00:18:46) Me: left more deposits and crap in the '617...
(00:18:55) Me: but oddly it works better in it
(00:18:57) Me: go figure
(00:19:07) Me: tomorrow...more shooting? Probably...
(00:25:03) Me: I think for bullseye pistol I'll rotate my, uh, equipment every few matches...
(00:25:15) Eric: lol
(00:25:23) Me: stick with my revolver next week
(00:26:06) Me: I think next week I'll do much better with it
(00:26:14) Me: 442/600 is pretty darn good
(00:26:23) Me: I'm certain I can do better
(00:26:43) Eric: yeah
