.50 cal Shoot this Sunday

[goldwing2000]

Ok, I'm sick of waiting. 41° is close enough! I'm taking the AR-50 out this weekend after the Pin Shoot at Wastenaw Sportman's Club. Should be around 2:00 or so.

Unless somebody has a better suggestion, it's going to have to be at Island Lake.

I know some of you have other types of .50 cal stuff, so bring it on out! Black Powder, Desert Eagles, that new AR-type thingy... let's throw some big-bore downrange!

Don't get too happy. It was a total bust. The state ranges have banned the BMG.

If you decide to go to the pit near Lapeer....let me know. I'm still holding that round you promised I could fire off! Plus, my muzzleloader should be in any time now. And, my friend Troy wants to take out his S&W 500. I bet, if I did a little sweeping out in the workshop....I could come up with a bag of aluminum shavings....would that add some interest? :shock:

I'll bite- what's the interest?

Speaking of the Lapeer pit, can some one post the address or where abouts of the pit?

Thanks...JR

Aluminum shavings can become quite illuminating when struck with an incendiary round. :shock:

Ya...but magnesium is much brighter!!! (and harder to extinguish!!!) :lol:Just throw more water on it! :D :D

For more fun, set about a cubic foot box of magnesium shavings on top of a 2 ft. tall log in the middle of a campfire. Wait until it gets burning real well, then throw more fuel in the fire, like a bowling pin, that just happens to land smack dab square on the top of the burning box. Ka-Boomie!! Don't ask how I know. :wink: (No, it wasn't me, but I was there.)

Hah!!! Did the magnesium spread out all over the ground?

Did everyone run for cover? :D

To my recolection(sp?)...putting water on a magesium fire is a no-no isnt it?

[Roger Roney]

putting water on a magesium fire is a no-no isnt it?Correct. It makes it worse, or more intense, that's why the smileys.

We had a 15' fire pit, the box was still fairly solid, as the magnesium had been lit seprately, so upon compression & explosion, the box held the spread within the ring. We still joke about the blast knocking the guy off his feet, and he claims he tripped. Either way, it was a pretty good boom.
