I had a great time, did really poorly on Thursday, marginally better on Friday and best I have ever shot on Friday.  Glad they ordered in Sun Dials to time me.  Wore out the hour glasses last year.

Cheers, to a fine fellow!

[Unis Ginex primers]

I purchased several lots during the covid interregnum, and still have some left rattling around my loading room.  I found very inconsistent results using these, with Fail To Fire rate at around 5%. In addition, the brisance, or the forceful effect of the explosion generated by the primers, appears to be inconsistent, as well as less forceful than the Federal/Remington/Winchester brands with which I am accustomed to using.  Accordingly, they do work better out of longer barrels, so I use them only in rifles, and only in practice.

Unless the price is stupid - which you indicate it is not - get 'em.

[Green Country Ammo?]

I would encourage you, and anyone getting into this sport, to begin reloading as a cost-saving measure.  Money saved = more ammo = more shooting = more fun!

 

That said, while the price ain't too daunting,  158 gr at 895 is a good deal hotter than you need for this game.

  ..... for them California roads, ...... right?  🙃

Sadly; YES!  The roads in California - possessor of the FIFTH largest economy on earth, if the governor is to be believed - are among the worst is the US.  They are unbelievably bad.  I keep the Scrambler for the 210 freeway, and trips into Hollywood. 

 

Sadly true,

I am paring down my collection at last.  But I may need to keep the Scrambler...

So "rifle not last" may not make everyone happy, but does seem to make everyone least unhappy.

Given the difficulties of ensuring accurate scoring across a wide variety of variables, especially when facades and cross stage recording are factored in, this quote makes an awful lot of sense to me...
