Range report

I got a chance to fire my Mauser Parabellum .30cal today with some new ammo. I purchased some 95gr FMJ from a loader that I had tried in the past with my 1906. It functioned flawlessly! <img border="0" alt="[jumper]" title="" src="graemlins/jumper.gif" />

As Dwight can testify, soft lead tips did not work at all in this gun. They would not even move up in the magazine column.

What a difference the right loading makes! The price was not too bad at $80.00/250. I did not get a chance to try it in the new stainless model.

There were two ladies doing some stream sampling close by that were upset with the shooting so I told them I would leave and said that I was sorry for making them nervous. I could have pressed the issue and stayed but thought that it was more polite to leave even if it was public land.
