tons of fun. Actually that should be my shooting sports nickname. LOL UML "Heavy Metal Optics" is the only heavy division and it's basically tac ops or limited but with a .30-cal rifle, so I shot my SIG P226 so I would only have to worry about picking up my .30-'06 brass and clips. The P224 slide lock lever has solved my problems with failure to lock empty, but pretty much requires a power stroke method to drop the slide (although I did manage to find the lever during one reload). Anyway, video here for any interested. https://youtu.be/4ptNZ27h1_I --------------------------- My hovercraft is full of eels. | ||

Interesting that you shoot your handgun right-handed but your rifle lefty. And I saw you reach up on your shirt for a Garand clip on one of those pistol reloads! I shot a friend's Garand once and really liked it. I'd like to get one some day. <><><><><><><><><><><><><> "I drank what?" - Socrates | |||

Very cool! I imagined a soldier in WW2 to fighting block to block, house to house in an urban environment with such a beast! _________________________________________ Dei. Familia. Patria. Victoria. Don't back up, don't back down. | |||

Nice shooting. Is that M1 Garand a H&R production? You know those M1 Grands can reach out quite well to 500 yards. ********* "Some people are alive today because it's against the law to kill them". | |||

This one is a Springfield. Last match we had steel out to 400 yards and I was clanging everything. This time I had trouble. --------------------------- My hovercraft is full of eels. | |||

| Avoiding slam fires  |
Enjoyed your video ,hope you was able to get you brass and clips. If so now comes the work of the brass,and that takes several steps and time. I use a home made trimming debur,chaffer champer thingy.Handles those steps as in one handling then to the 550 Dillon. | |||

We shot 3 gun July 7 in Central Ohio, my son shot heavy metal with his M1 Garand, a Sig P220 and a Mossberg 500A for fun. The shotgun was our handicap (besides ourselves) but we had a blast. This was our last shoot before he went off to be a Cav Scout. | |||

by my count I only lost four pieces of brass. That's assuming that I found all my clips. I'm pretty sure I did it. Everybody is usually really good at helping pick up clips and brass for me. I have a three-way cutter head on my RCBS trimmer. That saves a couple of steps but it is still a long and arduous process to prepare brass for semi auto rifles with a potential for slam fire. I check each piece of brass with a case headspace gauge and for length, and for incipient separation. Lots of time and work. --------------------------- My hovercraft is full of eels. | |||

that's awesome. I preferred heavy-metal division when they used to require you to you shoot a 45 caliber pistol and a 12 gauge pump shotgun. They nerfed it to get more people shooting I guess. Now you can use the same pistols and shotguns as other divisions. --------------------------- My hovercraft is full of eels. | |||
