Food was good. Company was great. I'd say about 15 or so showed up.

Sorry we missed it.

Color coding mag? Enlighten the ignorant.

Different boolitz different colors. Soft/hollow point = grey ; 5.56 = red ; green tip = green

 

[GLOCKMAN23C]

Howdy Gman.

Yup.

Interesting way of keeping things organized.

1 ammo box with G-I mags loaded .223.
1 loaded with 5.56 and they are all MagPul
1 loaded with LAP (green tip) and they are marked with green electricians tape.

Not punching any more holes in folks steel targets fro running the wrong ammo.

All the .308 mags are loaded with ZQ stuff.

If you watch the "die hard " movie at the airport, you will see the bad guys switch mags, and note the color code. They were shooting blanks, then went to live ammo. Tape stripes on mags.

Yes sir.

 

[KJQ6945]

Yes sir.

I don't differentiate, if it needs killed, and it didn't die, shoot it more.



KISS method and lots of big mags.

Interesting, I use bullet shape as a way of keeping high powered ammo out of low power guns. The 325 grain 45 LC stuff that goes in the Henry looks different than the 250 grain stuff that goes in the first gen Colts. I've looked into powder coating bullets, color coding might be an additional safety method.

Bullet shape is how I differentiate between 147gr and 115 gr 9mm. Suppressed versus unsuppressed, I guess I do sort my ammo.

Call ahead and hang onto your shorts.

I have to keep a system, with older guns you just can't run hot rod ammo in them. The Henry and the Rugers work with stuff that would peel the Colt SAAs like bananas, an expensive mistake if I ever make it. The top 45 LC loads I run will go through a white tail deer from front to back. I would go bear hunting with them in the Henry at woods hunting range.
