i can' find it?
i'm awake at 1:25 am. i can't sleep after capel tunnel and elbow surgery yesterday so i may as well yammer a while. i type with one hand so shift type ain't going to happen today.
Kayrat i'm afraid people have backed away from shooting and firearms. one shooting range i go to has attendance down better than 75%. half the benches are blocked off for social distancing and with ammo hard to
find and expensive when you do people aren't shooting. was thinking how i used to stop at gun shops driving to and from our cottage 100 miles from home. no need to stop because i know they don't have the reloading supplies i need. And I'm using
this ballistic calculator as well
i recently purchased a 223 ar upper with a 20'' barrel for target shooting. i'm wondering now if i did the right thing with an election coming up that might not go well for gun owners.
to go back on your topic i have ar's that shoot 9mm and 45 acp. i love them both and shoot them nearly every time i go to the range. they seem to shoot very similar at 50 yards. the 45 drops like a rock after that, 4'' in 75 yards and then 8''+ at 100 yards. holds windage well though.
i ruined 45 acp barrel when i had a miss fire. yep, bullet lodged in the barrel. i looked down the barrel, thought i saw the other end but did not. the barrel swelled about half way but didn't crack or rupture. well $125 later i had a new barrel. this time i took great care to ''break in'' the barrel so it shoots better than the original. i now take heavy aluminum rods to the gun range for checking barrels for a blockage and removing. that paid off because my 9mm had a miss fire once range officer helped clear the barrel. 9mm is ok. rods are helpful for other people shooting to.
feeling drowsey now. ok kayrat i'm ready to face the music on my misfires!!! but you know by now i learn most things the hard way.
