I'd like to thank the cast of characters that helped out with this: My father for footing the bill (a birthday present to me that he gets to utilize), Brian Enos (great to deal with), Mike Dillon, Atlantic Guns (Rockville and Silver Spring, MD), cordex, HSMITH, DWS1117, Ed, Eskimo joe, m1911joe, Navy joe, Cup O' Joe, Steve Smith, Valkman, boing, redneck2, oscar, Grump, Tamera (for no other reason than she's...well... Tamera), ...oh, yeah: my wife for tolerating my "hobby", Calvin (AKA Bubba, the Tacti-kitty) for not being interested in what's on the bench, the gaffer, the best boy, the dude with the clap-board, Industrial Light and Magic...


Sorry...got carried away. Now I need to load the "less photogenic" brass and go burn these bad boys off!

Only 500 rounds into my still new 550 and the drool faucet is still on. Looks like your having fun. Keep it up.
 
E-Tree-EM!!! (chicago for 'echo3mike') Hows about a range report on dem chells yoo loadet? Jew shootem yet?
 
Your press...it looks so...new...

Sigh[/nostalgia]

It won't last long. :D
 
Well... the 14 rds. I tested all grouped inside an IPSC head A-zone at 10yds without much deviation. Might be better if I wasn't so... in need of practice. Ah... Dry fire, dry fire!

The biggest motivation for this was to have enough ammo on hand to get past the "doesn't suck" handgun shooting stage. Dry firing is great but it doesn't help with sight tracking or follow-up shots. But yeah...I am having a boatload of fun with the new (clean) toy.

Thanks again, guys.
S.
