Range Report - 1/10/07

[Strychnine]

Took the new CZ 75 P-01 out for the first time today. Straight out of the box with some Winchester it ran like a champ. VERY comfortable also.

Here's the first 14 rd. mag through the virgin gun at 7 yards... that one high shot sticks out like a sore thumb. :o

Ran out of Winchester and switched to Blazer :rolleyes: Yikes.

While loading the first mag of Blazer I saw that one of the cases was chipped and cracked in two places; definitely made me paranoid. And while the Winchester ran fine, I had 2 FTE's with the Blazer.


I've never really had to deal with any FTE issues before... is it more of an ammo thing or a gun thing?

Man, me, my brother, and my neighbor went to shoot this last weekend (SKS, AK-47, 12ga, .22 Ruger pistol w/ scope, and Ruger 10-22 rifle), and we had a TON of Remington .22 rounds that didn't fire. I've NEVER had that many misfires, even put together I've never had as many as we had Saturday. :confused: Anyone else have this problem with Remington .22 rounds ??

All in all though, we had a SHITLOAD of fun. We go shooting out in the country, outside of Denison, and we have a bunch of land and a pond to shoot up. ;)

My dads P-01 has never had any feeding issues. Personally that Blazer looks like shit and I'd dump it.

Yeah, I might shoot what I have left, but I will not buy it again.

Here's a closeup of that cracked case.


Any ideas on what would have happend had I tried shooting it?

Something bad more than likely. Maybe not catastrophic but bad.

I wont shoot cheap range ammo ever again. First time I did it was ammo the range said I HAD to use on their range. Turned out it jammed my glock twice on mis-shaped casings. I made them clear the gun both times also since it was their ammo that I had to use. Not to mention that cheap ammo will dirty your gun up bad.

I have never been happy with Blazer or Wolf

I have never been happy with Blazer or Wolf

Between the SKS and AK, I have put over 1000 rounds through them with Wolf, and I never had a single problem. Of course, I clean all of my guns almost immediately after every time I shoot them. And Wolf has been the cheapest 7.62x39 ammo I have found anywhere. I bought a case of 1000 for $149 from Gander Mountain in Sherman. I need to check and see if they have any more tomorrow when I go up there--I'm out. :o

Anyone know where I can get 7.62x39 ammo cheaper than $.15 a round ?

You know its bad ammo when DPS wont even allow it on their range.

I find it funny that people spend hundreds of dollars on a gun but use the cheapest ammo.

To each his own :D

The man was just testing it out......no worries. He does need to tighten that group up :D

Looks to me like maybe it got jammed up on the feeder ramp, caused a snag when it did that and thats why it FTE. :confused:

[FastFord19]

damn, i'm gonna have to check my blazer 9mm ammo.

hey john, Where could I get some decent 10mm range ammo?

10mm is hard to get (cheap) thats why I went with a .45
you will probably find the best deal online......where do you get it now?

[FastFord19]

I'm still working on the few hundred rounds that came with the gun (bought gun used). I am getting pretty low though. That's what sucks about the 10mm is because it seems to be more scarce. I have not really found any good deals.

You got a Kimber right?

[FastFord19]

yes, Custom Target II

If you dont shoot that much then I would just stick with what you get now. Try Walmart or your local Gun Range.
Do you plan on shooting a lot?

[FastFord19]

Not really. Buying a big bulk would be overkill for the amount I shoot. I guess I'll just have to check walmart, or outdoor warehouse.

Sell it and get a .45 :D

[FastFord19]

noway. How about I just get a .45 also!

Hmmmmm yeah..I can see the logic in that.

Believe it or not, Gibson's Discount Center in Weatherford.

way to far for me to drive.

Well, when I started looking for the 7.62 ammo, Wolf was all I found, and the cheapest I found it was for $3/box, but the main reason I bought that stuff is because when we go shooting, we might put 300-400 rounds through the AK/SKS in a day. I find it hard to spend a bunch of money on ammo that we will just be plinking with anyway. Besides, I haven't had a SINGLE problem with the Wolf in 1000+ rounds. :o Maybe it was just luck. :confused:

By the way John, what do you charge to do the CHL class, and where do you do it ?
