So this year so far has been hectic. A whole combination of things added up to make any leisure time a precious commodity, including range time. Which is where this story originates.
The few range trips I've made this year have all been spur of the moment and less than organized. Grab a gun and some ammo, go to the range. When I get home, clean the gun and toss the ammo on the shelf. Which is how it came to be that I have a lot of half empty boxes of ammo on the shelves. On the bright side, they were half full.
So tonight when I got home from work I sat down to organize. The end result was 4,000 rounds of .22 LR, 200 rounds of 00 buck, 60 slugs, 800 rounds of M193, 150 rounds of Wolf .223, 140 reloads for my varmint .223, 1,100 rounds of .45 ACP, 410 rounds of .308 and a pile of empty cases to reload.
See? If I'd been organized like normal this year, I wouldn't have gotten this pleasant surprise. And now I have more space on my ammo shelves. No more half empty boxes.
Anybody else had a period of complete disorganization? It's been frustrating. I haven't had my motorcycle running this year, shooting has been erratic, made it to only two of my sons' ball games, etc.
