I just voted yes.

I'm going to be in the middle of moving at that point, I might have to bail on this one...

Well, maybe next time TexasJohnBoy.

I forgot to mention that I have plenty of B27-E targets, so unless you have special targets you want to use (or buy at the range), you don't need to bring any. I bought a 100 a while ago, and I've probably used 10.

Do we get to wear our LTC Tiaras at the range?
I call Dibs on shooting Pawpaws Dan Wesson first!

Dang! I have my daughter that weekend (divorced dad). Will try to catch the next one.

While obviously XM855 5.56 is steel core, I have found that some of the el cheapo Russian 5.56 is magnetic not because it has a steel core, but because they mix iron in with the lead to save money. Also, M80 7.62x51 has a bi-metal jacket and it will attract a magnet, but again it is not steel core. So, while I think that no steel core (5.56?) is an understandable rule, ammo that attracts a magnet is not necessarily the definitive test. No green tip penetrator is what they really mean, isn't it? Any clarification appreciated!

I'll touch base with them tomorrow and get clarification.

I think the sash would be better for you.

That's OK with me. I'm surprised you didn't go buy one after our last outing!

I'm late to the parade and trying to get caught up......

1. Where are we meeting?
2. When are we meeting?
3. What are we shooting?
4. Food, or not?
