[jedi]

so non-corrosive primed, steel case .308 win is OK in the fnr that is coming?
at cabelas and that is about all they have .308 wise. some match stuff for 45!!!

also 30-06 is for the grand right repeater? win 30-06 180 gr is 20.99 think its 20 in a box like the .308

 

[jedi]

they do have brass .308 win for 17.99 as well. the other is steel. so is steel ok?

 

[jedi]

well picked up 20 steel and 20 brass .308 win.
figured one of these should be ok.
skipped the 30-06 as im not sure and funds are low.
did pick up four $5 cards so i'm set for the next few meet n shoot for prizes.

cause I had to make the navy targets for nothing! LOL!!!
But we can use them next month.

FYI I will no longer be updating the main post for this event. We are in the final stretch for this event.

Yes, 30'06 for both the Garand as well as the 1903A3 that I will have out there. It is usually sold for 20 in the box, although you have to load them 8 in the enbloc clips.

See you Saturday and we will see how the steel works. I have not seen any negative comments on steel not working.

Should I order a spare barrel? Looks like we might need it .

 

[repeter1977]

what sized boards do I need to get? I will be getting them today, to bring out tomorrow.

 

[jedi]

@repeater
What size plywood can we donate?
The range can only take full sheet 4'x8' plywood in ANY thickness due to how it is nailed to the wooden post they have.


Get the cheapest 4'x8' plywood you can find. Last time the waffer boards were the cheapest.

Does anyone know what the flooding/water situation is like out there, at the range? I don't know if you all have been getting rain, but man...NW Illinois is flooded to the neck.

 

[jedi]

Good question and I'm not sure. Most likely real wet but doubt any flooding. The majority of that I think occured with you guys. Send a few PMs to members who live near the range to get more details.

 

[xTasee]

I think GunBunnies needs to do a probe test-drive and find out :-P

 

[KLB]

Looks like they only got 2" of rain this month.

 

[Ericpwp]

Shoot brass and then steel. Steel is dirtier cause it doesn't seal as well as brass. Shoot the brass after the steel and it could expand onto the grim and FTE, and even get stuck in the chamber. Not that 20 rounds would do that though, just an fyi.

 

[jedi]

thanks thug!

btw the burger buns i'm not sure of. they have been in the freezer since NOV and they are thawing now but its still semi hard. we can give them a try but just not sure on their taste/softness.

coukd someone bring 16 buns as backup.

new rule i think is going to be all bread that we dont finish ya either take or we feel the animals.

I will bring 16 burger buns. My unused breads get taken home or fed to the animals. Frozen & thawed bread is .

 

[actaeon277]

I agree about the bread. Toss it.

 

[jedi]

i feed them 1/2 frozen hot dog buns and 1/2 fresh the last meet & shoot and no one said anything. =)
granted they were only frozen for under 30 days. where as these are since now.
btw the dog buns are under day frozen as well. but they appear to be softer as they are thawing then the burger ones.

 

[repeter1977]

picked up two boards, noticed after I paid that i should have gotten other ones. Oh well, next time, ill get those. Will be packing here shortly, unless we need something else.

 

[jedi]

just two. =(
we tend to give them 3. oh well we will blame the econmy. =P
