Lock and Load! MNSubaru Shooting Event May 9th, 2009

I will be brining my rifle to this one, cicle pines is pretty close to home for me. Bring your own ammo or will they have some for sale?

 

What time? I'm planning on cars n coffee in the morning and another gathering at 1 pm but if there is time between or one or the other doesn't happen count me in. We went to the CP range a couple weeks ago and enjoyed it. and its only a few minutes from my house.

 

Boo, autocross (mowog 1&2) that weekend.

 

I'll be bringing my saiga .308 win.

 

I'm pretty sure I can make it on the 9th.

 

I am in as usual. I am looking forward to checking out the CP range. I take it they still have a pistol distance range or you can shoot at pistol distances on the rifle range?

I need to zero my new irons on the M1A, and possibly mount up a scope if I have a new one by then (old one broke from recoil issues). so expect me to be there with the M1A, AR15, and XDm. people are more than welcome to shoot my guns, but please bring ammo. (contact me, and I can tell you what to get)

 

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I'll be there. Unfortunately still gunless .

 

Hey Ted take your time bro. We're in the same boat, but I'm in no hurry. At the moment I've having a lot of fun just hanging out with you guys and trying out as many different guns available from members to shops.

I won't be able to join you guys this time, I'm stuck working! :emo:

 

I'll be there...newbing around.

 

^That .450 is a riot to shoot. Ammo for it is super expensive though. The only downside.

Yep .223 or 5.56x45. I havent had a chance to fire it yet, so I am not sure what feeds best. I would say you would be fine with almost any .223 ammo, except for the Wolf stuff or any other steel/aluminum/lacquered cased stuff (which they dont allow at bills anyway). Probably stick to an FMJ type bullet as well, until I can determine how well it feed the other types (ie polymer tipped v-max, ect...) I know they have the PMC .223 55gr FMJ on sale for 20/$10 at cabelas, which is good stuff.

I might try and get to the range just too see how that v-max stuff feeds. they have Fiocchi 40gr v-max on sale at cabelas for 50/$22. If this stuff works fine I will let you know.

 

^^^Fleet farm had the .223 PMC 20 rnd/7.99 BP store had 5k plus yesterday I picked up 350 rnds, went back today...nothing but they had a ton of regular blazer 9mm,38,357,40,45 and probably 50 boxes of the brass @16.99(.40 only) I took 7 boxes so as of this afternoon if you still need/want more BB .40 its available.
What AR did you get? I really need to find an upper but may check the event in little falls this weekend for a complete gun.

And for the shooting day I am bringing and willing to share my XDM .40 my wifes .357/38 revolver and my friend Nick should have his 10/22.

 

Well I got out to the range today. I put a couple mags through the AR. I found out that the Fiocchi 40gr Vmax cycles great through the rifle. I am pretty sure that it will take any .223 in a brass case.

hmm... I am pretty good on .40 ammo. at least good enough where I can wait until I see it for $13 a box before I get some more. That is a good deal on the PMC .223. To bad they are out of I would have got some for this range outing.

As for the AR, I picked up a CY6. So far I love it.

 

I'd love to join for this but I'll be in montana. Sorry guys.

I would be in, but 50yrds is just a waste of ammo for anything in my safe (sans .22lr)

Is there anywhere with 100+?

 

You can be tacticool

 

Well I thought I was going to be able to join in the mayham but will be going to a wedding in Colorado.....

 

Are we going to have another one again later on????

 

Can I bring my .75cal Tannerite-infused wrist-rocket?

 

I kind of agree.

We could do a trip out to Del-Ton in St. Cloud. That is the DPMS range. I went there a couple weeks ago for the first time. It is pretty nice. They have 200yrd, 100yrd, 50yrd and pistol ranges there. $15 or so to get in, but you CANNOT do any sort of rapid fire (more than 1 shot/second).

Otherwise we could see about getting access to a Gun Club. Minnetonka has 100yrd rifle and 25yrd pistol range. Elk River has a 600yrd rifle range, that I would like to try out. Even though my NM front sight post on my M1A will probably be bigger than the target at 600yrds.

 

I don't know if I can see 600 yrds:hsugh: I need to find out if I can hit a target with my AR at Bills before I go any further. I'll take any tips you guys have got on the 9th. I'm enthusiastic but still new to the rifle thing.

 

The NM front post shouldn't be too bad at 600 if you are shooting at an e-type. A USGI front post would....

I just got my single shot back with a 7mm-08 22" mounted and need to dope in my scope. In honor of the single's return to my safe, I mounted up the .223 and went to burnsville on sunday. With Winchester factory white box 5.56mm M80 ball, I grouped at 3/4" at 46yrds (furthest it will go) I learned that the rifle DOES NOT LIKE that ammo... I should just save a few months and get my M14's bolt fixed so I can shoot it :hsugh: But if we do go to 100yrds+ I would LOVE to get my PSL out there and play. I have 880rds of Bulgarian surplus steel core that I want to send through the beast! Oh.. and one round a second is just fine with me!

On the note of ammo, I have brass, bullets, primers, and dies for .357mag and .44mag that may go up for sale soon. Anyone interested?

 

Looks like I am going to be sitting in the holosight on my AR, and the Irons on the M1A. Should be a good time.

 

Crap, I'm not going to be able to make it...maybe the next one.

 

That makes two of us. I'm so bummed. :emo:

 

Now it makes 3 of us. think happy thoughts....NEXT time.:hs:

 

Wheres a good place to pick up some cheap .308win rounds for poping off? I don't have much ammo right now.

 

Sure it can, military surplus. In colorado I used to be able to pick up aussie surplus fmj .308 ammo for a really nice deal. We don't have cool stores like that here. I used to pick it up at a drug store, I forget the name.
