What did you shoot today?

Finally found the hen's tooth Remington Accutip 3" 20 ga slug ammo on line that I've been looking for since February. Bought 4 boxes for sight in on the new Savage 220 lefty and for the upcoming deer season. Ony bought 4 boxes, didn't want to be greedy. Bought it at 10:30 pm as soon as the notification of in-stock status showed up.

Went in the next morning, ALL GONE. I should have been greedy.....
 
New range theme: "The long and the short of it" ... or maybe ... "Big brother and little brother" --- long rifle and short rifle variants of same make. Today - my Mosin Nagant 91/30 (big brother) and my Mosin Nagant M38 (little brother). Little brother shot very well: POA for both elevation and windage at 100 yds, but I couldn't get big brother figured out to assign a POA for POI. Needs a good bore clean and another range trip.

Edit to add pic of little bro and big bro:

Went out yesterday with a couple buddies. We shot a resetting target, glass bottles (in a burn pile), an AR500 steel plate, and a couple binary targets. Had a good 3 hours of blasting.

My buddy brought an ar15 and a ZIG 1911 .45. The ZIG is a cheap gun, but its accurate. It functioned great with some steel case ammo, but had a few FTE with Remington brass cased ammo.

I brought my 1957 Romanian SKS, NEF handi-rifle in 22 hornet, Sig p320 DU 9mm, Interarms Virginia Dragoon 44mag, and the JRC 500 SW mag (serial number 0025!) The DU gun was won at a banquet. Sks was bought at a gun show about 15 years ago for 175. It shoots straight as an arrow. All numbers matching. I've put over 5000 rounds through it.

Sorry but this is off topic. I am a newbie here and am clueless as to how to ask a question about primers or anything else for that matter.
Could you please advise me on how to ask a question about primers?? I tried going to general gun discussions/primers but get nothing.

That would be a question to post in the reloading forum.
You should have tabs at upper left that say "Home" and "Forums". Click on forums, General Discussions is at the top, scroll down and Reloading is near bottom.
Welcome to THR !:cool:

I had an M-38. It was my only rifle during the "lean years", and I remember thinking every time I fired it with Czech Silver Tips - "Uncle Ivan was one tough old bird!" I miss that old carbine.
 
Weather sucked. Not a damn thing. I have plenty of "work" to do as I'm working up loads for rifles I worked on for clients. I have a .338WM, a .300WM and a .308 Tactical to sight in and work up one good load for. We're stuck under this cut off low pressure system and it's not only providing moisture but easterly winds which aren't favorable at the range I use. Hopefully next week will be better....
 
Another "big brother and little brother" range session - Henry Long Ranger .223 and Henry Classic Lever .22 WMR. Big brother had a bit of an advantage (typical, no?) with a scope zeroed at 100 yds, while little brother just has a Skinner peep sight.

Little bro & big bro:

Big bro did well enough to get sent to the 200 yd range to ring a few gongs, but little bro needs his peep sight drifted a bit to the right before he's ready for the long range.

Love that Long Ranger, got the little bro.
 
Serbian ZPAP. It has American walnut furniture and a few US-made parts, by
" Zastava USA". Both Serbian and American jobs! :cool:

“S&W” M&P .22 LR (designed and manufactured by Walther, in Ulm Germany o_O ) We rode a train through Ulm Germany about three years ago, and this was months ::: before ::: the idea of buying a "S&W" .22 handgun came to me. German and American jobs!:cool:

A) 1950s (?) Savage .22 LR, single-shot / bolt-action rifle, bought by a grandfather (for squirrel insurgencies). Very accurate, good sight distance with a tiny Bead post. Hit a small leaf at about 80 yards.

B) Walther P99 AS (9x19 mm). It is DA/SA, or SA/SA (You choose which)..... yet striker-fired.o_O

Today was a quick Beretta day. When I got home I realized I could have taken my M9 .22 instead of my TX22 Competition. Took my 92x Performance, 90-Two, and M9A3.

Two-90 is top left, m9a3 top right, 92x peformance is bottom left. Just 5 yards with shaky hands
 
Took 2 of my grandsons out to the back yard with my Beeman k2 and Crossman 760 with green dot sight. Shot half a tin of 7.4 gr pellets at paper targets taped on steel signs. Was the older grandsons first time shooting, or even handling a gun. Had to revert the gammon green dot as it's battery died. Both had a great time shooting with poppy.
