    I inquired, the ammo I have isnt +p. 185gr. is kind of heavy for standard load, I will show you the ammo tomorrow, before we enter the range. I will try and be there around 8:45.

    Actually, that's light for a standard .45ACP load. They're typically a 230gr bullet, odds are they're a low recoil .45ACP load.

    Chris, sorry to hear about your car man. Hope it all works out.

    Oh, for those of you who are bringing shotguns I highly recommend finding some target shooting loads, they're usually in their own section at places like Gander Mountain. For range shooting, it's perfect stuff as it puts out a decent pattern and is cheaper than cheap, I picked up 75 rounds for less than 20 bucks.

    I'll be bringing about 100 rnds of .45ACP, 100 or so of 12ga and probably 1000 rounds or so of .22LR so I'm ready to punch a lot of holes :)

    A huge thank you to everyone who showed up, we had an amazing time. Well over 4 hours of shooting time, everything from .22LR to .45ACP (and .45 Colt) to 9mm to 12ga. I know all of us who were there had a good time. I can't tell whether I have black boogers from the gunpowder expended or the house fire I responded to this morning. Either way, a good day ;)

    All in all, we had Ben, Brian, Martin, Evan, Eli (and Veronica), Ryan, Jason (and a friend who's name I can't remember), Steph and myself show up and we will be doing this again. We had too much fun not to. There will be video and pictures put up soon, as well as photos of the targets we obliterated.

    I have a long day of photographing targets ahead of me. There is a huge stack sitting on the couch. I pulled out my 25yd 9mm shoot though, I can't believe how much I missed shooting guns.

    I had a wonderful time. Next time I'll have to bring the sks plus some more random fun guns from the in-law's gun depot.

    Thanks again to everyone letting me shoot their guns. We'll have to do this again.
