Funny story about a "Bill's" fan at a shooting range.

[Ray R]

True Story

Background:

I was at the range today testing some new .45 ACP loads I had just made using two different manufacturers primers. I wanted to see if the primers made any difference. They both were very accurate, so I was in a good mood for the first time all week.

The Funny Stuff:

I was talking about my shooting experience with one of the store managers and mentioned that I was really happy for the first time in a week. I explained I was a Dolphins fan. He smiled, nodded and told me he had a "Bills" fan come in wearing an obnoxious "Bills" face mask (is there any other kind - LOL). The manager told the guy he would have to change his mask or wear it inside out.

This really cheered me up and I knew he was probably telling the truth because he had pulled that on me once when I came in wearing a hat with a competing ranges' name on it (I turned the stocking cap inside out) - LOL

At this point I though to ask him if he was a Dolphins fan and he said no, he was a Texas fan.

I guess misery loves company or as they said in the service, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" - LOL

Whew, rich man! A dollar a round I stopped going to the range with the .45.

Sounds like your range owner is allergic to money though. Hope you thanked him for the years of draft picks!

He's a better shot than I am so I felt it prudent to just " let it ride " - LOL

By the way, my .45 ACP reloads cost:
Old Prices New Prices
Primers: $0.03 $0.10
Cases: $0.01 Unknown (I used my fired cases and they last a long time with a 90% recovery rate)
Powder $0.02 $0.05
Bullets $0.10 $0.10 - $0.25
Total $0.16 $0.25 - $0.40

Bullet cost an vary widely, based on the kind of bullet you buy.

You can build a round of ammunition that is optimized for your gun i.e. Caliber, twist rate, barrel length and actual bore diameter, just to mention the most common factors.
