I will be there breaking in my new SAR-1. I am hoping some of you guys can help me out with that
Oh, now THAT cuts to the quick!
/Martyr Suit-ON/
I'll have you know that I introduced two complete noobs to riflery that day...one of them a woman. Does sacrificing one's own pleasure and amusement for the sake of RKBA count for nothing, these days?
/Martyr Suit -OFF/
I did not invite them on this go-'round, however, because I want to be sure to:
1. Show up on time
2. Get a decent round count
3. Did I mention getting a bunch of rounds downrange?
Unless I'm run over by a truck or some similar happenstance, I will be there at 10AM or earlier.
I am learning, however, and will bring the "Canton Cart" my wife & I bought at Canton to haull my gear around it. I'm thinking of the following:
Hand-Cannons:
Taurus 651 Total Ti .357 mag (Think Ti Bodyguard)
S&W 686
SA Ultra-Compact 9mm
Ruger MkI
(A small-bore extravaganza!)
Long Guns:
Rossi 92 .44mag lever gun
K31 Schmidt-Rubin
Remmie Nylon 66

Ok, I'll bring the following:
Ok, I'll bring the following:
- Ruger 22/45
- Glock 34
- Kimber TLE
- AR15 (one that needs sighting in really badly)
- Rem700 LTR
Brute:
If I recall correctly, you had/have a S&W M625 in .45ACP?
No, don't bring it.
I have a Webley MkVI (with the ground cylander making it suitable for .45ACP & S&W moon clips).
I just wondered if you knew anywhere locally where I could buy powder-puff (low-pressure) .45ACP rounds with lead bullets (no jackets)? All the knowledgeable Webley-shooters caution against "high" pressure .45ACP rounds and jacketed bullets.
I have not set up yet for reloading...and my classy British Lady lies unused, unloved. I must rectify this situation.
I am thinking of waiting to build my reloadng bench and just buying one of THESE.
BTW, the Webley Mk VI was originally chambered in .455 Webley which chunked a 265gr hunk of lead at a leisurely 650 fps. Nothing too dramatic, but I hear it got the job done.

I do have a 625. I don't know where to buy ammo like you're describing. I would think that someone would have to load them for you, as I don't know about the commercial viability of a .45 round that might not reliably cycle an auto.
I know someone that uses that stand (or similar) in their apartment. It does the job, but obviously doesn't offer the space that a full sized bench does.

@#$%! Had to work. Looks like I'm going to maintain my ten-year average of shooting 0.73 times per year.
TechBrute, EghtySx, & myself made it out there.
It was HOT! Any further shoots in the summer, I recommend earlier than 10AM...like opening time.
TechBrute brought out a nice AR & a Remmy 700 bolt in .308, as well as a Glock 34.
EghtySx brought a sweet SAR1 with the prettiest furniture I ever did see on a AK as well as a suh-weet Clot Python with a double-suh-weet blued finish.
I shot my Yugo M48 w/ scout scope, K31, S&W686 and "Brutus." Brutus is a Taurus 651 small-frame .357 made from titanium. I was informed that the muzzle blast to the sides when firing 125gr 3.57 Wincleans was considerable. POI with .357 is so low that I will likely carry .38spl+P 158gr LSWCHP. Also, it did not like repeated loads of .357. I think there is a heat dissipation/galling issue with titanium magnum revolvers.

Sunday is generally a no go for me. I'm working a heck of a lot now. Elections in November.
