FN at the Range

 Fired a few full mags of 40 through the FN before setting up a paper target at 25 yards. I wanted to check for point of impact change when switching barrels from 40 to 9mm. I used a 2 hand hold with my strong hand forearm resting on a sand bag.

Shot a 5 shot, 3 inch group with the 40 and then changed to the 9mm barrel. With 9mm I was all over the place with nothing hitting the 20 yard small pistol target. 

I then changed back to the 40 barrel and couldn't hit the paper with it either. It was all over the place.

In both cases using reloads of coated cast bullets. The 9mm is 120Gr that shoots well in my old FEG Hi-Power. The 40 was 180 Gr. The 40 may be loaded a little hot. I'll try again with both after reducing the charge a little.

Been a While

 As I said last time, the prostate MRI was mostly clean but 2 slides were a little hard to tell, thanks to the 2 artificial hip joints. My GP suggested seeing a urologist, just in case. There are several in my area, but mostly booked up. The soonest I could get in to one is May.

The closing closet thing the Boss started at her church has been keeping her very busy. And by extension me too. Then folks from another church got me to volunteer to help them once a month hauling a trailer full of free food stuff to a needy area in a nearby town. Seems nobody there had a truck rated to haul a trailer that heavy.

Made it to the range a few times since last posting. Shot mostly handguns, FEG HiPower 9mm, FN HiPower 40 S&W and a Kimber 45acp. The FN is relatively new to me. Used to be my brother-in-laws. Been having some trouble with the FN in that I tend to be left of target at 25 yards.

Been shooting 180 grain bullets at about 1,000 f/s in the FN, as compared to 200 grains in the 45 at about the same velocity. Some say it's the best of both the 9mm and the 45. I'm beginning to think it's the worse of both. It has the snap of the 9mm and the heavier recoil of the 45.

In the November election, Trump will likely lose unless he manages to get a major majority of the votes. If it's at all close, Biden will come away with a victory thanks to all the dirty tricks the Dems play in most all states. 

I recently read a book titled RIGGED. It details the many tricks the Dems pulled, some legal some not, in the last several elections.
