2nd range trip for my M58
It is another warm and humid day here in SW PA, so what better to do than to go to the range with my wife and three S&W's. My wife shot her M60-10 again and I took my M58 and my .32 HE in .32 S&W Long.
I loaded 100 rounds for my M58, 50 using Starline brass, with the Berry's 210 grain plated flat point over 8.0 grains of Unique sparked by Winchester LP primers, and 50 rounds with just the powder being different; 5.5 grains of Red Dot.
Shooting went well with no issues. The Unique load is very nice. I am pretty happy with it. It was a comfortable load to shoot. I don't think I will be taking the powder charge any higher. The Red Dot load did not seem to me to be as good as most loads I use Red Dot in, but maybe it was just me.
I shot at 10 and 15 yards. Most targets were shot with my arms rested on my range bag. I left the chrono at home again. It is complicated to set up at the range since the firing points are on a raised deck. I have to take a tripod to mount the chrono to and with the legs fully extended, I can just clear the bottom target backer board support. I'll chrono the loads sometime at the hunting camp range. It's easier to use there.
Oh yeah, I did put the Ahrends Smooth Tactical stocks in Moradillo wood on. I like them!
Cheers,
Rick
