    So, what's the general consensus on ammo as far as what gets used in what gun? If you shoot someone else's gun, do you just use their ammo, or do you use yours? Factory or reloads?

    Other than 22s, pretty much everything I shoot are reloads, but I know how some people don't want to shoot someone else's reloads in their gun (completely understandable).

    That's a case by case basis. Depends on the person and the gun.

    I'll be bringing the Caniks to proselytize the heathens.

    Might bring my 22 again :D I have a Star and it's sort of reliable but I think one of the magazines is bad it causes a malfunction every time

    The Star was designed for 9mm largo. When they sold them chambered for 9mm Luger the mags weren’t changed for 9mm Luger.

    Steel casings feed better. I have 2 Stars, have not done the mag mods (google videos for Star mag mods) but find steel case ammo does feed better.

    Generally, if someone else is shooting my guns, I'll use my reloads. If I'm shooting someone else's, I'll either shoot their ammo if they offer, or factory I brought. I usually bring a couple of boxes of factory ammo just for that purpose.

    I'm pretty much coming out to visit and meet ya'll.

    I don't have anything that's cool, to ya'll. All my stuff is for LR shooting.
    No worries. You'll have more chit-to-choot than you can get to. Ill bring plenty of toys and most guys bring LOTS more than me.

    Ammo is not an issue-du-jor. Some bring cases and most have more than can be shot. Common courtesy's and civilities should prevail. If you shoot a LOT of someones stuff then settle up somehow. Cash, credit, PP, replacement boxes, bring yer own, etc. etc.

    Half of that was a joke...^^^^.....I dont believe you could even get anybody to take your money.

    TXOMFS was a different story. He was clear that he was bringing Auto's. Free to shoot em but try to bring your own freedomseeds. He was all about sharing and even had plenty of ammo if you were without. When I shot the M-16 I had four of my mags in my pockets.

    Its all good. Friendliest of atmosphere, new friends to meet, great shooting.

    Fighting the mud was no fun so pray for no rain. (although it was entertaining watching the range officer try to get around in his golfcart)

    I'd love to shoot as many .44 Magnums I can if anybody would be so generous as to share. I'll bring ammo and will be bringing my Ruger .44 Carbine.

    I’ll be bringing my Ruger Redhawk and my Marlin 1894 in 44 Magnum. @orbitup has a really cool pistol with a bird’s head grip that’s really fun with hot loads that you should try if given the opportunity.
