Any week days would be perfect, keep the wife happy that I'm home on the weekends
My budget AR: Aero Precision Upper/Lower, Geissele Mk4 13" handguard, Faxon mid-length "Pencil" profile, Surefire brake, Velocity Trigger.
It's not a "evil" assault weapon. Has a brake, not a "flash hider" , has a fixed stock, and a retarded "fin" preventing me from "encircling my thumb" around the pistol trip, and no forward pistol grip. LoL. Commie California rules.
.... Oh and my Les Baer Thunder Ranch

Just found this thread. I'm an Amtracker currently stationed in 29, shoot out at the dry lake bed near copper mountain college all the time. Would LOVE to take part in this. I live in yucca, and have a full IPSC and stand, and two bolt guns (impact precision and accuracy international AX). So glad I found this thread!
You're in. Welcome to the Extravaganza.
The more Marines, the more Motrin, water, and foot powder I'll bring.
Now I understand why you shoot factory ammo.... You have a Surgeon.
I dislike you, but in a backhanded Corpsman to Marine kind of way.
My super fancy bolt gun. Ruger Precision Rifffle with a 24" Proof M24 Profile barrel. 6.5 Creed. Gen I Bushnell HDMR with H59.
nice we will definately have to get out more. i try to stay away from the lake bed, to many other people most times for me to be comfortable. dirt bikes and such
Yeah the lake bed can be tricky if you're not in the right area. But I built a range using my MilGPS app I use for work. This particular set up is away from dirt bikers, off-roaders, and the other guys that just go out and blast away. Additionally, the SDZs of potential richochets are way away from anything or anyone. 
I use a sign in the one dirt road that bisects the line of fire "warning, live-fire in progress, please honk". The road is very infrequently traveled, and if someone is on it, I can see them from about 3000m away, and I just unload show clear until they pass by. I can show you sometime.
The bolt gun is something I put together. It's built on a bighorn origin with a shouldered prefit from PVA and it's sitting in a MDT ESS chassis.That's a fancy lookin brake you got on your AR
What bolt gun is that?? Badass.

Where are you guys buying steel from? I’ll try to see if I can get something to contribute.
Mine was from amazon. But AR500 Targets is based in Upland, CA. And there are other local shops making them for varying prices.
so were up to
3x full size ipsc
1x 1/2 size ipsc
2x 10", 8"
1x 6", 4", 3"
7 targets guessing we will probably not really use the 3" unless really close and the 4" will be a challenge target at most distances we will be at
all the steel

this is the cheapest place i found full size targets and i looked for a while haha. every other size are a dime a dozen but if you want full size they are harder to find for a reasonable price
My ipsc is a 1/2" thick plate, she's. heavy bitch. Rated for the guys that wanna shoot 300WM.
I’ve got a good buddy who supports my club that makes steel - he’s got a lot more offerings than what is on the website but let me know if you guys wanna put together a bulk order. He is in hemit

Good prices! May get one down the road before I EAS.
thinking about getting this for midrange shooting. https://mgmtargets.com/limited-time-specials/triple-target-special
Which range?
poppers likely wont be visable from most locations at this place. lots of shrubbery unless we move to red raiders location. which is an option....
Honestly, for the amount of people, weapons and targets we are looking at shooting...your location works much better. The place I have setup is much more suited for a quick 2-3 hour session with 1-2 people.
Just got back into reception range.
Burro Canyon in Azusa, CA. Got LOTS of great data to load up now.
Decided to jump on the "Saterlee" test bandwagon with interesting results with 6.5 Creedmoor, Reloder 23 (disregard the RL22 on the paper... it's RL23), 147 Hornady ELDm, Prime brass, Fed 210M primer, 2x fired, fresh anneal. Loaded .025" off lands.
"Bolt lift/extract" means slight sticky bolt lift and hard to extract one handed. "SAA" is "same as above"

43.6 looks good
I was thinking 43.6 or 43. My chrono was 9’ from my muzzle, info only.

I tend to go for the high node just to get more speed as long as there aren’t any pressure signs. Are you getting any pressure signs? If you wanna play it safe, go with 43. That way you can be safe during the summer when it gets really hot.
There were no signs at all with RL23. I like to play safe anyway just because of that temperature/pressure gig.
Definitely stoked for this shoot. Just snagged a case of Hornady match 6.5140 ELD-M, and some 175 FGMM for the AI.
Really hope all this wind chills out when we get out. It's been crazy out here
Anyone got a wind call for a 500 yard shot with 60 mph full value wind
Yep, back her out to the lowest power and hold where the horizontal stadia meets the left edge of the tube ?
Damn that wind is brutal
H59 for the win(d)!!!
So, planning for food and whatnot....
BBQ? Sammiches? Beer? whiskey? Rye? Or of this is gonna be a "dry" trip... well... I guess I can endure a camping trip without the hootch.
