My wife's about to kill me, but its been a good gun-related weekend for me. Yesterday I shot a Garand/Springfield match. I shot both matches with the Garand. Didn't do too bad in rapid and slowfire prone. 94s and 95s. The offhand stages weren't as good. But I shot 2 matches yesterday, so that was good. While I was at the match, a guy was selling USGI pulldown bullets and powder. I got 2000 150 gr FMJ bullets and 8# IMR4895 for $100. So that was pretty good. Another guy was selling ammo. I managed to get 340 rounds of Lake City M2 Ball for $51. 15c/round for LC 68 ammo, so that too was pretty cool. Today was the monthly highpower match at the local club. I didn't shoot too welll today, only a 446, but I was shooting, and not at home mowing the grass, so that was pretty good.
Entry fees to 3 matches.... $25
Enough surplus bullets and powder to keep me loaded with Garand ammo for 2 years.... $100
340 pieces of soon-to-be-once-fired brass.... $51
Gas... $20
Amount of s*** I'll have to take from my wife over the next week.... 196 dollars worth.
2 days spent at the range shooting with other gun nuts.... Priceless!
Now I gotta go and mow the grass.
