Thanks. It's a simple course of fire, many could do better than I did. Perhaps next time I'll do better!
I'm celebrating 45 years with the 45 1911 now. We've had a good relationship. It was a little rocky the first time through, then I got determined to master the 1911... Have owned several...
Keeping them separate from the large primer brass is the only problem, and that's no big deal.
I believe they are part of the "cleaner ammo" trend to keep indoor ranges a bit safer. Things changed to totally metal encapsulated bullets in some ammo. Speer/CCI as I recall. So the combo of...
It was held at the large Oklahoma City Gun Club, and I believe all the RSO's were active & retired OKC police officers.
Everyone left with a hard wallet-sized card saying that they'd qualified. Oklahoma doesn't care what handgun is used, and it's not noted on the card. Just qualification and a...
Yes, the annual qualification get together is a really nice way to spend time with some old friends - and this year in my case to make some new ones. I enjoyed.

Way to resurrect a 2024 thread @Busybell. Yes the Nosler Ballistic Tip continues to be a very effective general purpose hunting bullet. Accurate and lethal on game.

Am torn between the 6mm Remington which I've been shooting since 1974...
And the 7mm Remington Magnum which I've been shooting since 2000 or so.
Both have done very well for me afield.

This should be an incredible drive and hunt!
I wish you the best of luck on this grand adventure. Your rifles and ammo were well selected.
Am eagerly awaiting the hunt report!

We switched chronographs part way through - but I didn't set them up - the video guy did. He's also an accomplished reloader. You may be onto something there. I intend to re-run the loading and shooting sessions but need to get some more of those 350 grain Berry's plated bullets. I want to keep...
I like that "off switch" photo of yours. Normally I aim lower in the chest on mule deer, going for heart & lungs. But... Years ago there was a big muley doe at about 70 yards in tall grass covering her legs and nearly 2/3 of her body... Hit right about where your diagram/photo shows, with a 405...
I often use my service gun - the 45 Kimber 1911 I bought new in 1997 and carried for the next 17 years putting about 80,000 rounds through it in that time. It still shoots great though it's not as "tight" as it was when new. It was my backup gun for qual today in case the Holosun on my...
So what is LEOSA some might wonder? It's the 2004 (later amended) Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act which allows retired cops who qualify with their handguns annually, to carry concealed in all fifty states. It's a great thing. Frankly I wish everyone could legally carry concealed in all 50...
