Took a couple ARs out today, to get ready to bust some prairie dogs & jack rabbits in CO next week. Took my 14.5" 5.56 out to sight in & my 18" 6.8 to check/adjust the zero. 5.56 shot well with XM855 & absolutely no regrets with ponying up for the Steiner P4Xi & the Geissele SSP. Definitely looking forward to getting better acquainted with this gun. The 6.8 did its usual, which is to say shoot like a house on fire. It'd been zeroed with 110gr Nosler Accubonds, so I needed to check it with the 90gr Speer TNTs I'm taking out to CO. Once I got 'er re-zeroed, I wanted to see how it shot the XM68 90gr Gold Dots. 1st shot center-punched the cross hairs of the target. This is a quick 20 rounds at 25 yards-

I sure do wish I'da ordered another case or 2 of that XM68 when PSA was blowing it out for $11.99/box
Not my toes or legs.....lol.....just some steel maybe 10 feet away.What were you shooting from the ground?
Good hearing protection?I must not have done anything too retarded, since I didn't hear Billy holler at me.....
I could have my head in a bucket of cement, and I'm quite sure I would hear you-know-who if he wanted me to! lol.Good hearing protection?
See you HERE tomorrow!At TSA in Raleigh today for some 9mm therapy, have not been there since March with the shutdown and reduced hours.
Tried the new Canik TP9SFT, shoots real nice out of the box, only gripe is the red plastic sight pipe could be twice the diameter.
Hard to see it indoors at TSA, the range lacks overhead lighting in the lanes. Put 100 rds, 40 with my Gemtech .45 suppressor,
changed to my M&P 9mm and ran it with the Gemtech. 50 more rds in the Glock 26.
Let to other shooters try my Canik suppressed, they liked it, let them know about CFF, hope to see them here soon.
Time to out myself on hearing protection.Good hearing protection?
Time to out myself on hearing protection.
Friday, @BatteryOaksBilly, @MacEntyre and I were enjoying an hour or two on Billy’s amazing range. It seemed we were done so I packed everything up. Billy and Mac began discussing how they shoot their P365 SASs so I thought I should pull mine out, load it up and see if I could hit anything other than the ground.
My first shot made me wonder whether I’d somehow managed to chamber and fire a 357 Magnum round. I looked down at the gun and it appeared to be in one piece. Then I remembered I’d packed up my ear plugs too.
I never really thought about it, but it seems that whenever I pull up the range, I am subconsciously reminded to put on my ear-pro by the shooters already at the line. One day, I pulled up, nobody was there. I get out my gear, load up, and fire the first round. WOW. Forgot to put my ear-pro on. And it weren't no little 9mm, either. It was my Desert Eagle 50. I'd like to say that I will never do that again, but my memory is about as long as my... my.... I forget.Time to out myself on hearing protection.
