Went to the range

I shot several rifles at the Range I belong to. We have 500 and 1000 yd range with steel targets.

Most fun was with my 1903A3 my friend left me after he died along with 4 cases of 1966 LC M2 Ball.

I got her dialed in at the 100 yd range and then I went to the 500 yd range. I was about 80% at 300,400 and 500yds. The wind was all over the place, the targets were e-type steel silhouettes.

I shot 200 rds and I feel it in my shoulder today.


I asked a question on ATE here is a link:

Anyone here know if these are available, like the match sights for a M1A or a M1 Grarand?

    Took 150 .38 rounds and bought a box of 50 .357 rounds. Wnated to try out the .357 Magnum I bought 2 months ago. When I bought it it looked good and spun nice. Today I pulled it from the safe and the barrel was rusted, can a barrel rust that fast or did the oil on top of the rust dry up. I noticed when i oiled it again the rust dissapeared.

    BTW - it shoots real nice, my fisrt shot I wasn't expectiong the loud BANG, I am more used to my .38 bang.
