I guess what I meant, was beyond my 300 yard bench, I would enjoy "ring the gong" style shooting, rather than seeing how I group on a piece of paper. The ballons are a gong replacment, cause I ain't walking a piece of steel a mile out, and back. It will be all for fun, me and the girl, maybe a buddy, or just me, on state land. Not competition, not formal in any way......Pure podunk fun.
The ranges I mentioned are just what I have available to me, I was stating what was possible, not exactly what I expected to do right off. I ain't a total newb, I have the knowledge to begin, I'l find my limits as I go, and I know I'll be learning more as I play. But I'm just getting in the mood, and figuring out where I wanna start.
As it sits, I've owned the gun now for about 3 years and shot all factory ammo within 300 yards. I got it the way I like it, and I wanna try something new, beyond my 300 yard bench.
The Covid Depression has me limited. I'm laid off, wanting to play, not wanting to dump a lot of cash into this right now. I do have some play cash available, but I'm kinda trying to figure out the best place to put it. Brass. match primers, dies, more bullets/powder? If times looked more promising, buying a couple hundred cases wounldn't be a big deal, but they ain't cheap.
I've gradually picked up a spattering of components over time, and have enough to load some of something, lol. Just trying to decide where to go with things. I knew that varied brass would be a veariable, but I didn't know how much.
I have
1k winchester magnum primers
5 pounds of reloader 22
400 178gr Hornady Amax
200 225gr Hornady ELD match
RCBS FL die set
I just dug out the brass, to do a sort/count.
