Thanks, fmtek....I always forget that Caso's website holds BPBA range info. But it sucks that I"ll only be able to put .38's through the Smitty ;-(

Yeah, I was just there Thursday night with my GP100 and Kahr CM9.

 

I was only able to put 100 rounds through my GP100 cause of dirty a$$ ammo. I couldn't get the cylinde to close after only 50 rounds of Prvi Partison LRN. Clouds of amoke coming out. It was crazy. I shot 50 rounds of Speer Lawman first and it was fine, but the Prvi was horrible.

[NJScott 15]

Never used the PRVI, and if economizing will stick with Winchester white or Aguila. Better something like that happens to your revolver at the range, rather than when you need it, God forbid.

I know... i just picked up 1,000 rds of PMC Bronze FMJ from Cabela's... hopefully that will run better in the GP100...

PRVI sucks, it's probably the worst ammo I've ever used.

I love PMC Bronze. I buy it whenever I can. Shoots 1-2" groups @100yds and pretty damn clean. I actually prefer it over the federal AE that I've shot.

Yup. Just dirty. Adam bought the rest of mine, otherwise it would have just sat.

Range was uncrowded--though hotter than hell today. I thought I was gonna get tossed out for creating the huge fog bank of smoke that poured out of the .38 CCI Blazer in the 686. I don't think the PRVI has anything on this stuff. Reminds me of when I was a kid and we'd scrape all of our caps open (from our cap guns for you kids out there), putting all the powder into a soda can and lighting it up. THAT wasn't as smoky as the Blazer.

 

The 686 shot like a champ with the Winchester ammo and I can't wait to get down to Dix so I can run .357 through it.

Does the Bayonne range require you to show FID before shooting? What about buying a membership to shoot?

No. That wasn't me. Lol. I was there with my friend Larry. I'm 6'2" and he's 6'4".

 

We got there a little after 8:30.

 

I like it there. No one bothers you as long as you are safe.
