Over the weekend it was abnormally warm in Chicago. So a friend of mine suggested that we make the best use of the weather and go to the range. We ended up going to the Winchester Gun Club in Franksville, WI. We had a blast to say the least. Its a shotgun only club. We dabbled in some skeet, trap, 5 stand, and sporting clays. After spending the day there we were looking at the memberships on the way out, and realized that if we would have just become members at the beginning of the day they would have pretty much paid for themselves already. The gentleman overheard the comment and cut us a deal. He took all the money that we would have saved on our rounds and applied it to the cost of the membership. Twelve dollars and 5 minutes later we were the two newest members of the Winchester Gun Club! Now I have plenty of hulls to reload in the near future.
Also under the press now is a new .45ACP load. I changed over from the 185gr. HP to a 200 gr. alloy SWC. still using the AA#5 powder at about 6.8.gr I'll have to go to the range this weekend and see how they perform. Thats about it for now until I receive some parts to finish the Marlin project. Next on the list is going to be some 9mm wad cutters and possibly refurbishing an old duty revolver for a friend of mine.
