went to a new range today (angeles in LA).
I fired about 100 rnds of MNagant, 100 308, 100 .223, 20 .44 mag.
Then we (2 friends and I) went to the pistol side where they have steel targets set up.
My buddy pulled out his .44 Mag lever action and I used his (my own is much smoother, but I didn't bring it) p228 in 9mm.
Before we knew it we were dueling on a dueling tree set out to SIXTY FIVE YARDS! Now folks the plates are 5". Yesterday if you asked me how I'd do on a 5" target at 65 yards using 115gr 9mm cheapie reloads, I would have said... something other that what i'd say today!
Not only was I hitting it at least four out of every ten shots, I was also able to flip it back over during times where I'd hit the plate at such an angle that only a small part was horizontally exposed.
My buddy was also not doing too badly with his lever gun, but it was the p228 that really surprised me. I've always liked this gun, but now I want another.
