Range Report 10 July 18- Hits and Misses
Tuesday at Champion Arms shooting range is Ladies Night, where women shoot free when accompanied. We packed up quite a lot of ammo this time- two new loads in .45 ACP, a new load in .450 Adams and my first attempt at loading .32 ACP. The .32 ACP was so that Linda could try out […]
