Another Fricking CrapShoot!
The weather was cool, not as good as that one month, but there was no low or mid-level clouds. The view towards sausalito wasn't as clear but you could see the golden gate. Drive to the range:40min with goofing around. The monster 4$ breakfast as always was good, but i think it killed my stomach afterwards. Around noon my stomach was just killing me! I guess thats what i get for ordering a 'suicide' omelet, killing me till about 4pm!.
419-5x (it takes a score of 420+ two times in a row to get out of the marksman class. The only advantage of scoring near the top of the class is that it'll mean i'll probably be the class winner.) Finally the two guys who started me into this high-power shooting mess came back and shot along! I haven't seen both together since the first time we did this. Anyways everything was shooting well until the mag change of the 2nd stage: Standing to sitting 10-shots, 60seconds. This time i decided to bring 3 of the 30-round mags i got from iraq.. (heh heh) and lo and behold one of them jams on me.. The mag is bulged again and was hard to insert! This is getting ridiculous. At least the black hills ammo worked perfectly. Actually the whole match requires 58-rounds. So for this match i used 10 rounds from the crap ss109's but they worked oh, 9 of the 12 shots.. the other 2 the rifle cycled but didn't lock the bolt back (not enough power) and the last round the neck was oversized or something and it didn't feed. It created this wierd jam which required banging the rifle against the ground while holding the bolt latch down.. Fricking insane! So i guess for the 1'st stage sights are at zero, while the next 3 stages it's 4-clicks up.
i'm gonna need some more stuff, i'm gonna look at Creedmore sports. Someones telling me that i should be making a christmas list! (neakneak) i still need to get the rifle match legal! (doh!) 600$ will fix that.. Next month hopefully i'll be busting out some 69gr-25gr varget loads..
