Wow.

My .40 is an S&W 4043 and I'm using 180 gr. for practice as it's cheap.
$9.99 per box of Magtech fmj's.

Wow? The FMJ stuff is right around the price you mentioned below. Like other
companies, their hollow point product is pricier.

Yah better post pics. :-)

I found out the hard way that attempting to use plastic chargers as
giant dinner plates was a BAD idea, so I bought 6 lovely red glass ones
yesterday for $7.00 each. <cringe>

They are pretty, but only 13" across where the plastic ones were 14".

I'm considering going back and getting a set of 6 of the black ones.

Truly luv, try some Lindt's truffles. Wal-mart carries them in White,
Milk and Dark chocolate.

It's evil of me to share this as you will probably never go near
Hershey's again. <eg>

Walk and shoot multiple targets, shoot from crouching/prone positions/
cover. The pistol range is nowhere near as large as the rifle range.
There are only 8 benches.

Like I said in a past post, I plan on purchasing the annual membership
so I can just go there right after work early in the morning.

Unless there are other folks in town as nuts as I am, there should not
be many shooters (with annual memberships) there at 07:30 am. ;-)

The daily range opens at 10 am.

I get off of work at 07:00 and the range is about 15 minutes away. Home
is a 30 minute commute.

Hey, it's only fair if ya get to talk about dish patterns on items you eat
food off of, then ya get to talk about shot patterns from the things that
actually help you GET food :-)

Depending on your gun, this can cause problems. An empty shell should
eliminate these problems.

I have heard that... Seems older guns, dry firing tends to damage the
firing pin.

Most practice recommendations using dummy rounds.
Same for "jam" practice. Stick a dummy round at random in the magazine
so that you have to "clear" it.

I have one bad magazine for my .40 that has a weak spring, so mis-feeds
at random and always on the last bullet. I have it well marked for
practice only, and do use it. ;-)
