Blustery day here in Sandy Eggo. Headed out to check on an outdoor range I had heard about. South Bay Rod & Gun Club. Directions were easy...head for the boondocks and turn right. Found myself south of Dulzura in a canyon about 2 clicks north of the Internationale border.
Nice facility with multiple ranges. Limited use today as it was hailing/raining/blowing. Met some engaging Range Safety Officers who answered all questions with a smile. I had picked up some steel case ammo and wanted to see how the AR digested it. I also had some hot loads in 357 Magnum that I had worked up. 50, 100, 200 and 300 yards rifle range. My olde eyes have trouble seeing 300 yards, yet alone hitting a target. Then again, shooting 50 yards with a 2 1/4 inch barrel is, well....above my pay grade.
The AR ate up the steel case ammo (i.e. cheap stuff). This makes plinking with the Rumbear Youth a little more affordable. The magnum loads, went well. I hit the target. One blew out a casing, so apparently some dialing back is in order. Then again, maybe a hotter primer. We'll see.
Nice range. I see a membership in my future.
