bring a snow shovel. My wife and I were there today...pistol stations are not really shoveled. luckily i borrowed one to shove out our ports. I did not notice the rifle ports...

I was there yesterday...it was pretty bad. I made some new trails out to the targets too.

I wish I had brought a shovel.

Good to know. I was wondering to myself what the conditions were like up there with all the snowfall. Thanks for the heads up!

Got me wondering...if you put down some Calcium Chloride, would if negatively affect the Brass?

agreed. was there yesterday. nobody on the pistol range so i picked 2 of the tables that were already shoveled

I can't imagine it would be good for anything to do with firearms.

 

Ice melters being one of the products I sell, I find it amazing how many people think calcium chloride is less corrosive. It's the chloride that's corrosive, so it doesn't matter if it's sodium chloride, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride or potassium chloride they all eat whatever they get on. The difference between these products is the temps. they work at and the speed they work at.

I wasn't suggesting putting it in the breech . I just wondered how much case corrosion you'd get for the casing that may lay there 30 minutes or less.

 

Calcium Choloride has a reputation of not harming concrete so that may be the genesis of "less corrosive". I've not found there to be any difference in the amount of damage to concrete from rock salt to

Calcium Chloride. Calcium Chloride does work better than rock salt even at temps where they both work just fine. Rock salt is just so much cheaper.

I went the day after that snow storm, it was pretty intense getting out there to find the target lines at the rifle range.

I know you weren't planning on salting your guns ,but who wants to spend all kinds of time cleaning ice melter off brass.

 

Calcium Chloride has a FALSE reputation for not harming concrete. All ice melters eat concrete. I personally don't care for Calcium, I don't think it works as well as salt, it's a lot more expensive and the dust will give you nose bleeds if you use it enough. I always got more complaints about icy conditions after treatment at locations where we used Calcium instead of salt. The only thing it's got going for it is speed and lower temp. melt ability.
