I started printing targets today. Went fast, only eleven competitors so far. There's only one bullseye on this year's target so you might want to take additional targets to "warm up" on. Tomorrow I'll load some brass with my favorite load and head to the range for some trigger time. :camper:

That is, if it quits raining??

Exactly what I intend too do also Skipper, at my local club rifle range. Print out some small targets, from one of the past one's and get me group dialed into the center as close as I can, for the official target, when it arrives. :)

good work skipper and others - look forward to the target - meanwhile time to load up some special shells and get them sorted into batches based on OAL - and get some more practice tonight on the foxes! Lamb prices have gone skyhigh lately and every fox shot is well worth it for that as well as the environmental damage they do

Cheers

Nothing good in factory in your area to try ? And I would guess you don't reload yet, for your 204 R, right ? That is sad. :)

Thinking I might join Bill when he shoots his target so I can shake his shooting bench a little so the rest of us have a chance! Let the smack roll!

Virtually no ammo on shelves or online sellers--Brownells, MidwayUSA, MidSouth Shooters, Sportsmans Warehouse, Shooters World, etc. If you know of a supplier please let me know. I no longer handload. Components aren't available anyway. Sucks.

Lately, Academy has been getting ammunition on a regular basis. For a while you had to be there when it arrived, but recently some has been hitting the shelves. Don't know where you live but the ammo shortage seems to be letting up where I live. Good luck on your search.
