Speaking of shooting, where can you shoot a 12 gauge with a pistol grip? I don’t like waiting for camping every time.

my brother-in-law has a really nice Thompson Contender with a .243 barrel and a REALLY nice Leupold scope. he scope alone was over $800. He took a deer with it last year at 180 yards. Thats a pretty fucking good shot with a .243. They don’t have a lot of knockdown power, but they are accurate as fuck!

pretty sure you can shoot it at the range on NF Blvd, out near sabreland. Give them a call and ask, but I’m almost positive they told me I could shoot my SKS there which fires the same round.

You can shoot any non-magnetic rounds at NF, and he will check it. So if you are shooting steel cored surplus you will need to go somewhere else. Somewhere that isn’t a total rip off to shoot at.

Odds are you won’t be able to shoot your mosin at NF. All of the surplus 54R is steel cored, but you could buy some new barnaul or wolf.

You will need to join a club with an outdoor. Ten-X has a 200 yard outdoor range, and is only $80 (ish) a year for a membership.

If you can’t shoot iron sights out to 300 meters then you need to spend some time at EA rod and gun with the CMP guys.

Fired with a Winchester 52B match rifle, with Federal Gold Medal Match (900b) ammo. Fired 20 shots, with 14 in the 10 ring (4 x’s). The first 5 shots were fired without checking my spotting scope for a sight correction ☹

This is unpossible with a diopter sight based on the above quote

nice score :tup:

What is the reasoning behind that?

He used to let me shoot the AK with steel ammo at his old place.

He says he is afraid the pin is going to come back and kill someone. I think/know that the few thousand rounds of armor piecing rounds I put down range fuct his back stop.

locally, BGC seems to be the cheapest currently. There’s a place in Rochester that someone on here pointed me to, but they were more expensive than BGC surprisingly.

BGC isn’t selling the 1000 round cases anymore. But they are selling 100 rounds for $41 if I remember correct. I may be going there on lunch, so if I do I’ll take a look for you.

The last time I was there he said someone was shooting some surplus ammo and a pin [FONT=Helv][SIZE=2]ricocheted(sp?) [/SIZE][/FONT]back at the glass, so he was checking everyones ammo, lol.

Yes - they sell the PMC for the $41 which is a decent price.

Don’t forget the tax… it comes out to over .50 per round from the BGC

I just picked up 500 rounds of brass 223 from sportsmansguide for .37 per round shipped. I think they still have some, but if not, I think they had some on strippers for another .05. Those are good prices… you will be hard pressed to find non-crimped brass 223 for under .50-.60 right now.
