I may head to the gun shop today and hunt for some 3 1/2 inch shells for the shotgun just to see how bad that is after 50 rounds or so.
5.56 is damn near imposable to find now but i got a few rounds "640" from a friend so i will be getting some range time in with the AR.
Looks like i need to start reloading
Very nice looking AR, you did a good job. Between the weight and muzzle break, I bet the muzzle barely moves when you pull the trigger.
My hunting partner and good friend bought a home defender type shottie with the pistol grip with no stock. He loaded it with 3.5's and rapid fired them. After the 5th shot, his eyes were popped and he looked at me and went "ooowwwww" (like donkey on Shrek). Apparently 5 x 3.5's in a pistol grip is a little hard on the webbing between thumb and index finger...............ROFLMA
I see your shottie has a normal stock as well as the pistol grip so your hand shouldn't suffer as much as my friends did (he was done shooting for the day after that). but do keep it in mind.
I'm still a ways away from getting to my range. It's down in a river valley and now that it's melting, that road will be solid mud and unpassable (sighing) so I'll have to wait a bit.
I've been saving all my .45 acp and .308 brass for years because I plan on reloading myself one day. It's got to be the very best solution if you like spending time at the range, and I do!
