Oddball Ammo
Over the last 4-6 years, I have let my domicile degrade into a complete shithole (Kirk can attest to this, as he's seen the chaos.) Over the last 6 weeks I have been doing some heavy cleaning and a complete overhaul.
As a result, I've found a shitload of loose rounds. I don't know if their commercial or reloads; I have no idea why they were left alone as opposed to being catalogued with their collegues; some might be hot, some might be weak.
Regardless, I've decided on a potpourri shooting day to clear this shit out. I found .45, 9mm, 12 gauge, and .223. I'm taking a Mini-14 for the .223 because I think that has less risk than shooting weird shit through an AR. 12 gauge is, well, 12 gauge. I figure a Glock should work for the 9 and my H&K USP (designated for +p+ rounds) for the burnoff .45.
All in all, shooting the crap should take about 20 minutes. If there are squibs or other problems, it's going to take longer.
I should clean my house more often.

Thanks
Thank you for the welcome return. There are fuckers out there that I didn't even realize they ever read my shit. I appreciate the warm welcome and the condolences.
Good people, I guess is all I have to say.

Hopeful Return
This blog has been dead.
Hat-tip to people who've kept me on their blogroll for the last 8 months. I've swapped out computers and lost links, so I had to find my blog again. The email account expired and had to be re-established. Any mail from the last 4 months is probably lost.
Anyway, apologies. I got lost on a dying thing. Finding out someone is going to die, taking care of them until they die, watching them die, and then figuring out what the fuck to do with them. On top of that, dealing with the, oh so, compassionate fuckers that just make this sort of thing more difficult.
I haven't shot a whole lot since April. We've got a lot of new hardware and worked in a tactical pistol course at Whittington, so I've got plenty of shit to report on.
Hopefully, this blog will come alive now.
