Wish i could afford some range time.

This was all surplus ammo. I didn't take a picture of me sorting through a bucket of ammo. This one bucket had three types of 308, besides all the 12, 22, 30-30, 223, 44, and who knows what else.

This session cost me 4 paper plates and 8 staples, a little ink, and whatever value you want to put on the old ammo. The range was my back yard.

I don't like to shoot much in my back pasture. Even though the neighbors don't mind I don't want to turn the area into a full time range - but putting a little lead down range is good practice.

I take it you are saving your spent brass? Could be worth something, even if you don't personally reload.

alot of places will buy your spent brass or give you a discount for it on new ammo.

Yup. Got a ton.

Tippy, have you thought about wiring the ones in the back for reverse lights an running a separate switch to use them without the reverse lights?

Thought about it. I don't want to accidentally have them come on with my reverse lights (if I forget to cut that switch off) and blind some poor lady in a parking lot.

And I might have made you proud this morning. I sent 223 lead downrange from the bathroom window scaring away a predator that is not welcome in my pasture near the chickens. The smell of burnt gun powder in the morning while minimally clothed is awesome.

Well came across another snake this morning in the door of my shed...problem is I couldn't identify it so it became a dead one....it was about 2' long, hard to tell whether it had a diamond shaped head or oval...couldn't see fangs but with young snakes its hard to see anyhow...my thoughts are either a rat snake(which I would feel bad) or a rattlesnake, but too young to shed so no rattles. I hate having to kill a snake when I can't determine it, but with two munchkins running around I'm not willing to take that chance.

Pretty sure that's a rat snake man. The pattern and colors are consistent to one that use to be around my old place.

 

[CruisinTiger]

Yeah I just looked it up on the computer and looks like a rat snake...dang, it didn't help that it greeted me as I opened the door to my shed. Oh well, live and learn.

Went paddle boarding today below the nuke plant. The water was so swift there were standing waves to surf and I swam 4 times, none on purpose. Now coming back down was easy.

DEA drug bust just a couple blocks down from ACC. Bizarro....that's a relatively quiet, family neighborhood.

Reminds me of my home town (Youngstown, OH). They had a bust like this every week in my old neighborhood and resorted to painting the houses which were abandoned and used for drugs a bright pink color to ward off people and let the cops patrol easier.

Glad it didn't blow, looks like some serious gear.
