11:52 am. 1/2 of the rifle benches are open. Ground is moist but no rain. Overcast but looks like skies will hold out for at least another couple of hours.

Got there at 230 just enough time to put out the target.  Overcast.

Pulled off under 3/4" Groups with someone's 10/22
Not bad for rushing.

Started drizzling just as we went to retrieve the targets.

Had some fun with K3014 and Bozo today. Got to try a Moisin for the first time. We went to the pistol side later and I met a gent named "Musubi" that lurks around here.
He was gracious enough to let me try a couple of nice HK P30 pistols. Overcast and not a drop of rain.  No traffic. A  great way to spend a holiday.
Overcast days are ideal for chrono testing so I finished some load tests and I will be posting an article about alternative propellants in the 9mm cartridge.

"a couple of P30 pistols"?
P30 and P30L or DA/SA and LEM?
could you tell the difference?

i still haven't shot my new P30L yet

Oldfart, it was a pleasure talking to you, I'm looking forward to your reloading report. Macsak, it was a 9mm P30LS (V3) & an HK45.

if you like the HK45, you should take a look at the Mark23.  OGC had one in a few weeks back.

====================
Likewise. Always a pleasure to meet a new shooter. Sorry about the confusion on the HK model numbers.
I thought the P30 name included 9, 40, and 45. Like the USP series.

Shoot, wish I knew you guys were there, would've been cool to meet more 2A folks. I was with my range bud over on the right side shooting AK's. Got to watch AIR 1 make another trip up the crater as well ;)

Perhaps we should have a 2A "secret sign" so we know who is a member. I thought about certain color paracord bracelet that we could wear when shooting at the range.
So if you see someone with that color bracelet, you can intro yourself.
I heard the chopper but could not see it because of the new baffles. Was that a rescue job??
