Took the S&W 610 and .350 Legend out to the gun club the other day, fun times.

First time shooting out to 200 yards today. Chose to use the 6.5 PRC to make it special.

Yesterday I finally got out to shoot my new 2020 Colt 8 inch Anaconda purchased on March 17th. (Snow nearly gone)
Smoother shootin' than my 1991 6 inch Anaconda but obviously a bit more front heavy which I blame on age creeping up on me.
Only ran 12 rounds through it,as I was too tired from clearing trails "Up North" around the deer shack before taking the opportunity to get some rounds down range.
Mild loads with my cast SAECO no. 7 (hollow point) bullets over 17 grains of 2400 touched of by CCI 350's.
Looking forward to more shooting!
HEY!
Use care out there!

Shot my first competition today. A GSSF match at my local indoor range. Was a long wait to finally spend 5 minutes to shoot. Shot my Glock G35 in unlimited, I got stuck there due to me having an aftermarket RSA. Scored 496 out of 500. Was surprised to get that, I rarely shoot to 50 feet with any handgun. I haven't shot my G35 in over a year and I've only shot a hand gun once this year so far.

I shot my Beretta APX, CZ75, SIG P227, and Kimber 357. The APX and 227 need their sites pushed a little more. The Kimber and CZ75 were right on target.

Wife and I went out today, pretty sure for the first time in about 9 months. Took all 4 pistols. Beretta M9 (first outing), S&W M&P 40, S&W Shield Plus 9mm, and SA XD-S 40. Didn't shoot the SA, rest got their legs stretched. Both of us had fun, then got lunch (hard to find time for just the two of us with 3 kids).
View attachment 1152524 Put a new barrel on this Savage model 12.

Luck allowed me to get to the range today. Took my favorites. 45-70 Buff. Classic / 6.5 Grendel AR / Bergara B14R rifles. For pistols: the Glock 35 / Taylor & Co. 9mm 1911govt. Got to shoot with both behavior groups. (Responsible acting adults and children) and (The irresponsible, rude, unsafe conduct: blasters) ..... Uuuggggh! 
That's the chance we take at public ranges. Still, it was good to shoot. Made 7 in a row (45-70govt. Buff Classic from standing); 220yd iron sights hits on the 10-inch plate. YAY!

Hi..
My son and I spent Friday morning at the gun club.
We both shot quite a few different handguns and lever action pistol caliber rifles in various calibers.
The high point for me was shooting my new to me Virginian Dragoon single action revolver in .357Magnum for the first time. I also ran about twenty rounds through my N frame Model 27.
Also shot 20 rounds through each of my four .41Magnum revolvers and 20 rounds each through five of my .44Magnum revolvers snd another twenty through my Marlin .44Magnum lever action.
My son ran twenty rounds through the Virginian Dragoon in .357Magnum just like I did and he was impressed with the accuracy.
He did say he though it felt heavier than my two .44Magnum Virginian Dragoons.
He shot a large number of rounds through several semi auto pistols which I did not shoot any of this trip to the range.

Load testing a 155gr XTP in 10mm through my G29. And running drills from the (just received) C&G holster.
At a 10 shot average of 1289fps, and a 5" 10 shot grouping at 25 yards from a kneeling but unsupported position, I'd say this load is okay.
It turned out, on closer inspection, that the rear sight was slightly right of center, and has been corrected. The vertical inconsistency is all me though.

Going retro today, and fired some 40 + yr. old .22 rimfire rounds out of a Remington 511 Scoremaster.

Went out with the grandson and shot my new suppressor and his new Ruger SFAR. Pics are of him.
I finally got up on a ridge in The Middle of Nowhere today with an old friend. We took a Shield Plus, Shield 45, 10/22, Hatsan 87, Ruger Automatic .22, 22/45, and a Taurus G2C. It was a bad day for several heads of lettuce & a variety of fruit.

Hot damn! Always likes those Ruger boat-paddle stocked rifles. They sure do shoot. And a .280 to boot!

Yesterday. Back to the range with the B14R to get some velocity data from a variety of .22 LR ammo. Took a while figuring out how to get my Labradar to register the shots, but once done it dropped very few.

Shot 15 rounds through my new 5 inch S & W 460 this morning.
240 grain XTP's pushed by 42 grains of Enforcer touched off by Remington 9 1/2 primers.
What surprised me is there was not as much muzzle flip as I expected compared to the 8 &3/8 inch model.
Definitely will be keeping another revolver!
Biting insects were coming out in force, but my marksmanship needs work.
no,no the bugs cased poor target hits.
Yeah, yeah that's it.

Took my "beater" SKS to the range today to check zero and it's shooting too high. Has a Tapco fiber optic front sight post that needs to be adjusted upwards ( they are threaded to go up & down), to lower the impact point of the bullets. Forgot to bring the adjustment tool but at least I know what direction to adjust it in. Another item for the "to do" list..
... Also load tested all 4 of the different 444 Marlin handloads for the CVA Scout and they all group nicely. I'm real happy with them all. I could pick any one, fine tune the zero and be ready to hunt. Next project is to chronograph them just out of curiosity, I'm guessing they should be in the 2200-2300 FPS range. My favorite so far uses a 265 gr. Hornady FTX, which at those velocities would be a real thumper on deer, CVA also chambers the .45-70 in these rifles but for my uses that would classify as "overkill" and more recoil that I don't need. Here's a 444 with the FTX bullet next to a .30-06 for comparison..
.. I usually rotate through several rifles in deer season but this year the Scout will be first in line and I may not switch rifles until I fill a tag with this one. Come November that will be my "to do" list..
..Was a beautiful spring morning to do some shooting..
