i stopped by shooter’s world today to try out some remington ammo i bought at cabela’s yesterday. they were having a sale on umc ammo so i got a 100 round value pack of jacketed hollowpoints for my smith & wesson 9mm 5906.

at $34.99 for 100 rounds, that’s a pretty good deal. and the ammo is pretty accurate, features moderate recoil, and fired fairly clean. there were no misfires in the 30 rounds i fired.

when i shoot the 9mm, i like to use the shoot-n-c self adhesive targets, which create a bright yellow ring around the hole so it’s easy to see where on the target the bullet hit. i like the remington 9mm jhp, especially at the price i paid.

i wish i could say the same about the golden bullet .22 jhp ammo i also got.

the price was right, at $14.99 for the 525 round value pack, and the ammo is pretty accurate.

while the federal champion .22 ammo has lots of duds (as many as 1 dud per 10 round magazine), the remington ammo seemed to experience a failure to cycle, also as much as once per magazine (though i could get through a few magazines without any failures). so that was a disappointment. i’ll finish up the box (unlike the remington cyclone .22 ammo which i won’t shoot even for practice) and stick to the american eagle ae-22 ammo which always works flawlessly for me. it’s about $18.00 for a box of 400 rounds, so it’s a little pricier, but it’s dependable, clean, and accurate.

so i stopped by shooter’s world today, as i had the day off, to try out my new ammo, and to join the range as a member. since i go at least twice a month, it made financial sense. i also get 10% off a firearm purchase once a year, and 5% off everything everyday, and 8 free range passes. it was nice checking out today, and only paying $2.38 just for the targets.

the winchester super x ammo works well. moderate recoil, more accurate than my marksmanship, though i’m still thinking that there has got to be a less expensive jacketed hollowpoint alternative. here’s my best group, if you can call that a group.

the first few shots are always the best. then i start to anticipate the recoil, and the pistol jumps, thus the two fliers. still, close enough for self defense, and now i have an excuse to get in more practice.

this is pretty typical for me for my .22. though i normally start to tire after about 1/2 hour, and the groups start to loosen up. this group is 4 magazines, with 10 shots each (one holds 12), for a total of 42 shots.

next on my list of things to get are some zombie targets and an official zombie hunting permit.

the keyword analysis on my statcounter account will never cease to amuse and entertain me. reading through some of the internet searches that hit my blog, illuminates quite clearly how bush came to power in the u.s.

“difference between preop and postop shemales”
you have to be kidding, right?

“would you be happy as a shemale?”
is the searcher asking this of the internet at large? or of me specifically?

“i did not know she was a shemale”
and?

“shemales that made the cut off dick”
i like to think i made the cut, but made a cut off dick? might be worth looking into.

“how are people born shemale”
shemales are made, not born. or something.
