I call them stock tanks here most do so, lots of hogs in that country you mentioned now, one day this week not sure which I am going to stock up on primers again $29/1000m + tax, went up some.
Not sure of how much shooting in that area but just don't know info there. Suppose to rain all day Wed so no shooting.
Gosh been so long since been there, both sets of grandparents pretty close to each other, can't remember name of one of the town's outside Mineral Wells, one was Lipan, uncle lived in Santo, oh well. Yeah stock up man, good shootin weather coming up, been raining here yesterday and today, supposed to clear up Thursday I hope, wettest winter on record these parts. Used to rain Friday thru Sunday but switched to thru the week thank goodness. One other thing I remembered one of the times I was there we went to rodeo in Weatherford and Larry Mahan, he was national champion bare back bronc rider, had one leg in full cast and still rode, full 8 seconds, pretty cool! Well load up lots, let you know how weekend goes
Will do so on week, I am still dreaming of shooting that 9mm carbine again but really looking into next match 3rd Sat March all handguns then the problem of which one!
Good hard dry ground probably a 1911 any mud Glock 17 as to losing brass there, we will never run out of 9's here.
I will say again I never dreamed as much as some shoot here that so few reload as to compared to years back almost all did so that really shot a lot.
In the early 2000's I was shooting 2-3 matches a week, 2 indoor at night and a Saturday somewhere under 2 hrs driving 1 way, the crowds were double of what they are now also back then much older, the 1911 was king! Then all changed.
You really enjoy that little carbine for sure! Yeah I probably should have started reloading but up until about 1 1/2 years ago we would work 50-60 hours a week, lots of Saturday's and as I got older and the ticker got worse just didn't have the energy to add anything else. I work for one of the most successful big small asphalt contractors in the upstate, we don't do interstate work, night paving and such but we probably pave 50 subdivisions a year and probably 75% of the commercial and industrial work in the upstate, we never catch up so worked a ton before I decided to slow it down, missed a lot of Saturday matches working. I hate your matches have dried up a little, here on the rise like crazy, my range has IDPA, steel challenge, USPSA has been added and pcc has replaced 3 gun, there are two 3 Gun matches every month elsewhere, Greenville has CPSL and 2 gun every month, Anderson has IDPA and 2 Gun every month, Spartanburg has 2 USPSA matches and steel Challenge every month, Toccoa has IDPA once a month, it's an hour away, the longest trip to a match, plus 2 indoor IDPA matches indoors 2nd and 4th Monday night plus various 22 rim fire stuff. It's mind boggling the choices. I've cut it down to 4-5 a month or I'd go broke, good to have options I guess but keeps me busy between matches and the grandkids. Kinda living the dream, long as the ticker don't give out I'm good. I'm sure won't be long will cut to 2-3 and spend more time with all the kids
