Last Time You Fired A Shot

[Hangfire]

My S&W 'E' Series 1911 was beginning to feel neglected so I ran 50 rounds through it this morning at the 25 yd. gongs.....wasn't having much luck connecting with the 6" gong this morning and I got tired of missing so I stopped flinging lead at it, I was able to do pretty well on the 8" gong.

That paint I put on the 6” plates was repelling those slow .45 rounds!!

Yesterday we got in some rounds for EDC. Set up the dot on the Max 9, and sighted in her new Rossi Lever 22LR.

As referenced in my 300 Win Mag Load Data thread, the last time I fired a shot was today...

Pretty foggy this morning at 0645 but I still went to the range with my Ruger SR1911 and fifty rounds of ammo.

All my misses on the 25 yd. gongs I attribute to not being able to see them very well because of the dense fog.......that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Just curious... how would you say the recoil on that compares to a .30-06?

That's the only big game rifle reference I have.

I’ve owned a few 300 Win Mags and a 300 WSM, and the recoil was pretty stiff. The Vias brake makes this gun recoil about like a 243 (pretty mild). This gun is actually a pleasure to shoot.

Good to know. I'm impressed.

In all honesty, I’ve never really been a fan of brakes because of the loudness, and I was leery buying this barrel because of the caliber and the brake. It’s made me seriously rethink muzzle brakes as a whole.
