You? Any exploring in the X?

I think we're going to try to make it to the range tomorrow to shoot some steel and get some fresh air. We spend way too much time indoors.

I just got the X back from getting the tow package put on it along with getting the windows tinted and a clear bra put on it. Now it's ready to rock. :D

according to the add video button, I should be able to embed a Facebook video, but I can't figure it out...

Awesome, range time is fun! I'd like to get back there again this week but it might be tough with my schedule the next few weeks.

And nice goodies for the X!

Other than that, did you have a fun and productive range trip?

Half hour shutdown. Just long enough for that guy to clear the property.

i have video. I've asked a mod to check one of them over before I post it. VERY productive day. 150 rounds of kneeling with a sling.

Yeah, I need to find somewhere new to go offroading that is somewhere relatively close.

Gotta put range stuff away for the night and do a little picking up around the house.

Goodnight!

Today I deprimed and resized more than 1k .223 cases today, and I loaded up about 30 rds to test out tomorrow. 55gr "Dogtown" fmj bullets with 24.8gr H335 and varying OALs. I really just want to see how the OAL impacts my accuracy.

COM that's what i strive for consistently. Paper doesn't shoot back.

...just my braggy $.02

What do you define as "defensive distances" ?

I'll also be testing to see if there is an appreciable difference in groupings between hand-loading my powder in each round vs using the Lee autodisk powder measure.

at my skill level for both shooting and reloading, I don't expect to see a difference.

For a handgun, anything less than 50yds. If the threat is further than 50yds away, evading or using a rifle is probably more appropriate option if possible.
