unexpecteted "treasure" hunt today
I was out at my pistol range and comparing loads for the .45ACP. I got a wild hair to change recoil springs to see if it would help my weak ejection problem. The thing has always dumped the brass on the top of my boonie hat. Really not bad, because I don't have to hunt all over 40 acres for them.
When I swung the barrell bushing to the right.. the recoil spring plug went into low orbit over the cab of the pick up and dissapeared over the hood. Damn! I walked around in the shin high grass for 15 minutes befor I decided to head on home and dig out my spare plug. When I opened the tool box, there was my "back up" detector. Five minutes later I was putting holes in targets.
The pictures show why I reload, besides being cheaper. (10 paces with sandbag rest)
