We went to Genghis Grill for lunch. Man, Y2K eats like a horse now - and twice as fast as the rest of us! After a few errands, I took Y2K to the range. It was a great way to spend the last day of summer vacation.
We decided to shoot his Sig Sauer P226. Partly because it was already "dirty" and needed to be cleaned; partly because we both love the gun, and partly because I was able to pick up some 9mm ammunition lately. Wally-World had some "Tul-Ammo Brass Maxx" 9mm 115-grain FMJ on hand. I hadn't seen this one before; all the Tul-Ammo stuff I've ever shot is Russian-made in steel cases, and not the most reliable or accurate. This stuff is, as the name implies, loaded into brass cases, boxer-primed, non-corrosive and reloadable. It was also darn accurate and fed flawlessly! At $13.99 a box, it was a solid deal - especially as the "great ammunition draught of 2013" continues (though it is improving). We also fired some "Monarch" steel-cased ammunition I had purchased for $9.99/box at Academy Sports a few weeks ago. This was also accurate, and fed flawlessly! This will make good "outdoor" range ammo (since I dn't have to worry about chasing cases).
We had a great time. Y2K can pretty much match me now shooting, though he still needs to work on consistency. I still have a bit more experience than the little twerp (ok, 5'10" 175-lb not-so-little twerp).
