Hello, from San Diego

[Fire Dog]

Wait, did P2K get an outdoor line other than the trap range? I haven't been there in years, been going to South Bay.

100yd indoor… Trap/shotgun outdoors.

You are correct. my mistake, the outdoor range is for shotgun.

Ah ok, wasn't sure if they'd expanded somewhat. Are you looking for longer distance, or just pistol ranges?

I've loaded a lot of pistol/rifle loads using the right dipper and checking on a beam. 38 in 357 I don't bother checking plinking rounds, +,- 0.1 gr is gtg.

I think a key first question is: What is your accuracy goal/need?
With a Henry Big Boy, I'm thinking it may be more about hitting targets than getting tiny groups [like 1/2 MOA or less]. If so, an RCBS/Hornady/Lyman digital scale would be fine. You're just looking for something that is accurate to a 1/10 grain. Any of these would be great for handgun reloading.

Received some new supplies today, not everything I ordered.

In the future I would like to challenge myself to shooting longer distances. I also enjoy shooting outdoors more than feeling confined inside.

You're always welcome to check out the 3x300 prone match at South Bay: 3rd Saturday of every month (next one is Oct. 18th); setup at 0700, first rounds at 0800 (or so).

And if you're going to be out towards Yuma anyway, the IVRPA range might be worth a look too.

I dialed it in yesterday. Fill it up and did some throws to get the powder settled, and then did 5 more throws at the max setting. I weighted each max throw with my Lyman 500 and Hornady electronic scale and came out to an average of 63.55 Gr. So then I turned the adjustment screw to the first line (minimum) and ended up with 6.355 Gr., 6.356 Gr., 6.355 Gr., 6.354 Gr. & 6.355 Gr. with an overall average of 6.355 Gr.

Thanks, I have been out to a few ranges in yuma, I don't remember which ones, I have a friend who worked for border patrol and we would go out shooting once in a while. I think one was a law enforcement only range and the other was by kinter and the gila river somewhere. I mostly shoot at my gold claim around the sugarloaf area.

Oh gotcha. That's a lot further from Yuma than I expected -- closer to Phoenix and Tuscon than Yuma, if I'm reading the map right.

 

[Pat A.]

Not really that far. Yuma isn't that big.

Ah, I see! Google was giving me different results for "Sugarloaf" in Arizona :-D

Welcome to the form from Florida.

 

[Pat A.]

Well it looks like I have just about everything in to start reloading. I am waiting on a few more powders and some bullets. I also have a frankford arsenal tumbler (not in picture) that I has already cleaned some of my once shot brass.
