Does anyone keep meticulous range & maintenance records?
Each time after I hit the range, I record the date, name of the range, weapon(s) used, brand & type of cartridge, and number of rounds fired, and any special notes about how things performed. I try to mark the distances as well as the gun & ammo used on each target. I also keep records of cleanings.
I was thinking that, if I were to consider picking up a good used semi-auto, it would be nice to at least have an accurate idea of how many rounds it has been fed previously. Maybe this isn't necessary if everything looks good on a visual inspection?
I'm still new to this, so maybe I'm over-thinking it a bit... Just wondering what other people do, and whether you started doing this early on but gave it up after a while.
