What did you score today?

Post by 62chevy »

Went to the range today with the Wife and she found a couple of 45 acp cases on the ground. Then asked if I needed the larger brass. +guns

All said and done I found:

1 - 25 acp
20 - 380 acp
10 - 45 acp
140 - 223

The Wife also found a cell phone, no reception so she put it in her purse for later. Had to test our new Jeep on the two tracks and while doing so the cell phone owner called and ask to meat him back at the range. The phone was just an old flip phone but he did show us some nice pistols and rifles he and his Wife had been shooting.

All in all a great day.

Score? I'm getting old, it's getting late, but it is Saturday night ..... I can dream anyway :lol:

As far as range brass, a few years ago I could pick up 4-8 pounds on some trips ... now lucky to pick up 1/2 pound - mostly 9mm. It's a rare day to find straight walled revolver brass, but occasionally someone drops by the range to dump their carry ammo and they'll leave 5 shiny .38 spl. I haven't seen .357 or .44 brass on the ground in 5-6 years. Plenty of bottom feeder brass, and .223.

That's why it's exciting to pick up even the small amount we did.

I found 20 .32 ACP and 50 .380 ACP the other day in with some 9mm para.

I have well over 5,000 new 9mm Para cases and about that many once or twice fired cases left over from a buy about 10 years ago, so I normally don't bother picking them up. No need to be greedy.

You could use the 9mm for trading stock. If you have a 9mm then you can load up on ammo for cheap. Seen Youtube videos that hoarders have thousands of rounds of 9mm that they bought at the store. Just think of how much that cost even buying the cheap stuff at $15 a box, they could have saved a ton reloading even buying Berry's or X-Treme bullets.

Good morning
Got stung by a honey bee on the right check when the little bugger smacked into my helmet rim and got lodged right there on my cheek. You can never get stopped fast enogh once they start drilling.

hhhmmmmm.... if it were me zipping down the road on a two wheeler (like that's gonna happen) and a bee got in my bonnet, I can assure you I would stop real fast. My saying back in my rodeo days was "it's not the fall that makes it hurt, it's just that sudden stop" :o
