Rimfire Therapy

Hit the indoor range last night. This will become more common as winter sets in, days get shorter, and getting out during daylight hours gets harder. The indoor range down the road from me only allows cast lead and .22s - so it'll be .22s and .38s for me. I need to load up some more cast .45s at some point...

Last night's trip, however, was all .22. I took the M&P15-22 and the MkIII. Tried a new ammo; the Winchester 555 HVHP. The MkIII didn't care for it: I had half-a-dozen failures to feed over the course of a half-brick; all nose-dives into the feed ramp. The hollowpoint on those is stinking HUGE and probably has something to do with it.

In any case, I haven't completely lost my skill, as this was the result of a couple hundred rounds at 50 feet:

Certainly not spectacular, but I'm not displeased.

Looks like a little 'anticipation' there...

Certainly possible, NFO. I'm far out of practice on pistols. The rifle kind of makes sense, as it's pretty well zeroed for 50yd, not 50ft...
