30 luger point of aim

ithacaartist · 08-07-2017, 03:17 PM

I was suffering about 15-20% .30 Luger brass loss when I first started using the setup in the side yard at home. Grass of a regular lawn just eats the stuff right up. I made a small structure of screen panels from old, over-size sliding doors that gave me a gabled roof over the top of me and a screened in right side. Tarp floor. That sorta worked, but some would still squeak out beyond its margins. The setup was on wheels, but still a pain to set up.

What now works best now is to mow that section of lawn at the lowest or second lowest setting on the bagging mower's wheels. Keeping it short also seems to encourage the spread of moss, which is an even better surface for retrieving empties. I can pretty much find all of it now, if not right after I shoot it , then the next time or time after that.

I will soon be able to leave no environmental footprint at all, after I finish up the bullet trap. Stay tuned for that, I'm hoping to complete it this week.

What I really want to know.

How did they hit on target? Hi; low; left; right? All over?

Silly question... Are you 100% positive it's chambered for.30?
