More good advice

Never shoot all your ammo at the range. I thought this was just common sense gun control? I go to the range and have two magazines that are designated as get home mags and are for carry only.

    I may shoot up the ball ammo at the range, but the one magazine with the Hornady Critical Defense bullets stays with me.

    Paper punch stuff goes into the berm, HP’s stay with me.
    .22 LRN = berm, JHP= in the safe.

    I usually don’t shoot my carry gun. If I do want to shoot my carry gun – got to blast those doughnut crumbs out somehow – I carry another gun for the day. Carry gun and reloads are rarely, if ever, touched at the range.

    That’s why I have a full “basic load” of extra magazines for any carry gun — 2 or 3 mags over and above what I carry with.

    When I go to the range (actually, my backyard, more often than not. . . but I live in the country), I load the “range” mags (generally practice with ball ammo), and I also usually shoot the chambered carry round as the first shot of the string. When I leave (if it isn’t my backyard), I lock & load the gun with one of the “carry” mags, and if I remembered to bring the box with carry loads, I top off the mag in the gun.

    Every six months or so, I load up the “range” mags with carry ammo & grab a bunch of ball. When I get to the range, I shoot off the carry ammo as my first strings. When I leave the range (again, if it isn’t my backyard), I load the gun with the “range” mags that I loaded with new carry ammo at home. Now, my old “carry” mags are the new “range” mags, and vice versa.

    No, it isn’t to “let the springs rest” in my “carry” mags — it’s to “let the springs rest” in my “range” mags. Time under compression doesn’t affect springs that are not overloaded beyond capacity nearly so much as the total number of spring cycles.

    Edit:

    When I get to the range, I shoot off the carry *mags loaded with daily carry* ammo as my first strings.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
