Went to the range yesterday to shoot the last postal match of the year, but it was closed with hundreds of cops trying to re-qualify. So, I went out into the sage brush where the “trash and junk” shooter plink. And I had a ball! First time out in a couple of years not shooting targets or critters.
Tried out my OM Blackhawk that I had cut the back of the ACP cylinder off so it would use AR or ACP brass. Shot up 50 rounds before you know it. There was a refrigerator out at about 300 yards. If I held up all of the front sight and a touch of the barrel, 4.0 grains of Bullseye will push Lyman 452423 all the way out there. Plus I could shoot, lower the revolver, then get my trifocals focused on the target before the bullet got there.
Spent 150 rounds of 38's shooting shotgun hulls set up on a computer monitor with the 38/44 Heavy Duty Smith double action. Great fun!
Then filled the back of my pickup with trash and hauled it to a public dumpster in town. Good day, as I got to burn powder, help the environment and had fun.
