Hi...
Sunday was range day as usual.
My son and I went to one of the gun clubs we belong to and had a great time shooting.
Shot a wide variety of handguns in calibers from .357Magnum through .45Colt.
Shot one of my Colt Troopers, my S&W 686 Silhouette Model and Model 27 and all three of my BlackHawks in.357Magnum.
Switched over to .41Magnum...shot both Blackhawks and my Model 57 and my Dan Wesson.
Then I ran a few magazines through my Springfield Armory 1911 carry gun in .45ACP.
Back to the revolvers...shot my nickel Cimarron Cody, Blackhawk, Model 25, both full size Vaqueros, Remington 1875 and Schofield replicas in .45Colt.
Finished the day firing some rounds through my Cimarron 1873 replica lever action in .45Colt and my Marlin .44Magnun lever action.
Fired enough rounds to fill a Folgers large coffee can with fired brass. My son did the same with another can. He also shot quite a few 9mm, 10mm, .40S&W and .45ACP.
Not sure which of us shot more total rounds.
I spent an hour and a half separating brass this morning. I have four tumblers running...one with mixed rifle brass and .375SuperMag brass from previous shooting sessions and one each of .41Magnum, .44Magnum and .45Colt brass.
Still have .357Magnum, 9mm, 10mm, .40S&W and .45ACP brass to tumble but there is no hurry to get them done. I have huge amounts of brass in all those calibers cleaned and ready for reloading.
Tomorrow I will be tumbling some more brass and beginning to process the brass that is tumbling today. Lots of primers, powder and bullets on hand so I will be reloading later on this week.
I didn't get to the .44Magnum revolvers on this trip...had them with us but the cold, wind and rain took some of the fun out of the day, so we quit a little bit earlier than we normally do.
Still it was a good day smacking steel and breaking rocks on the backstop berm.
