I did so much shooting last night I'm sore, which is nice. Took my Glock 27 and my Marlin Model 65 .22 to the range last night.
I decided to shoot up all the remainders of my partial boxes last night before moving on to my main stock. This meant some WWB FMJ, Remington UMC JHP and Atlanta Arms Ammo (which I decided to dispose of instead)
The WWB ran fine as usual and I was down to my last 20 or so of the Remington. I was halfway through the mag and I pull the trigger and get a "CLICK" I waited a little while and then ejected the round. The primer had a perfect pinstrike just like the empty brass. It scares me greatly to think of the disaster that could have occurred had that been my EDC ammo.
I finished out the Remington and started my primary stock ammo. Ran through some Federal Wal-Mart FMJ's with no problem. I then moved onto the first of the Winchester bonded JHP's I ordered through Ammoman. Man those things pack a punch but remained perfectly accurate as they should be. Let a guy I met last night run through a mag. We both agree it might be worth trying out a pinky extension with this hot ammo for faster recovery. Still though, he was accurate too. 8 shots, 3 inch grouping, 25 feet.
Side story - When I got there it looked like Discount Ghetto Gang Night. I have not encountered this before. Literally about 20 thugs crowding the counter and the employees were just in annoyed shock. I got waved to the side and signed in and there were another 10 crowded around 3 lanes. One Glock that I could see and the rest was just junky looking stuff or rentals.
While I was signing in, there was a thug talking to a guy at the counter about a problem with his gun and he was finally able to communicate that it was jammed. I went in and a few minutes later they came inside to the lane next to mine and the range employee emptied the clip into the target as fast as he could. Thug immediately got pissed off because "that was his ends yo" I believe. Somebody got a translation?
Had I not specifically arranged this time out of my busy schedule, I would have left without shooting. Too much inappropriate behavior when dealing with firearms.
On the bright side, I'm glad I did stay. My grandfather's old Marlin .22 is still rockin'. 3" grouping with stock iron sights at 75 feet. 1" grouping at 25 feet. Used CCI Mini Mags. We also had some great chatter at the counter after the thugs cleared out.
