The CZickness XLIII prepping for winter.

[T-DOGG]

Maiden voyage for reloads and the new AR were a success. 50 rounds of reloads through the Howa 223 and 60 rounds through the CM-1 Dissipator. Rang some steel at 300 yards with the AR. It was a great day, nice weather and relaxing.









I think I like reloading, my worst 3-shot group at 100 yards was 0.632" and my best was 0.158". Now to fine tune the loads a bit more. This was fun. Like really truly fun. Seriously, I was smiling and talking to myself and everything.

And it took us HOW LONG to get you to try it???

Nice shooting.

I went to chainsaw the downed trees on my trail. First cut and I stuck the bar. Two wedges and a second saw later I freed it. Got one section of trail cut and still need to roll/throw everything off. I will have to look at the other section of trail that is blocked again when I'm not worn out. I think it may be easier to re-route the trail.

There are homes for people like you…..

Very nice Carlos! Looks like you had a successful day. Beautiful looking range BTW.

I doubt anyone here is surprised by that.





Glad it worked out for you. It is fun to reload and see it all come together. Get to know your firearm and cartridges really well. What they do like, what they don't, etc...

Glad it all worked out, Spicey - now the articulation of dialing it all in comes.

You're gonna be a GrandMaster before too long.

Go Get 'Em.!!

I'm pretty stubborn I guess.

Like an asylum? Sounds fun. Do they have popsicles?

Thanks. It is a very nice range. It's a smoking bargain at only $50 per year for a family membership.

I like to have intelligent conversations?

Or I just like a good laugh too.

Now the real fun begins.

Damn fine shooting bud. #4 looks to be a good combo.

Mind sharing what brand scope caps you have there? Looking for a pair that flips all the way back. TIA

Now I'm committed to coming up sometime in the Spring or Summer to shoot with you. Wish we had something that nice and that inexpensive near me. Not that I don't have ranges close, just not that nice or inexpensive...

Nah as long as he does not start touching himself he is all good yes.......

Wellllllll…….

Thank you all for the prayers. I haven't heard from family on how he is doing. The problems with being 500+ miles from family is the communications lag. Even with cell phones today, it still seems like there is a communications lag.

Nice shooting T-dogg. I always enjoy the analysis you provide, and the targets. It gives me ideas on being better about my testing what I am doing.

That does look like a nice range.

I like Proteq, I think Proteq is a nice range. I just wish it was closer.

Am I allowed to touch others?

Only if they consent. I think that's the rule.
