RE: Shooting the shit...and people

in Outdoors and more8 months ago

When I was younger, I did interior design. I did painting jobs and made furniture from sheet material.
A friend of mine, who was working in a dental office at the time, knew that. He recommended me to the then young doctor Alex, for whom I made a file cabinet, but I didn't want to charge, but asked her to whiten my teeth. our knowledge of trades, that of dentistry, and that of various maintenance, has kept us in a friendly relationship to this day. she never paid for painting, making and repairing furniture, maintaining electrical installations, and I never paid for dental services. occasionally, she or I pay for lunch or a bottle of wine... 🙂

As for shooting, I tried that too😁
Only the bullet is much more expensive than yours.
Target at 30m. Caliber 7.62...

Lol...30 metres?

I have a couple 7.62 (.308) rifles and enjoy the calibre although I have rifles that shoot much better (flatter trajectories) like 6.5 Creedmoor, 7mm and 300 winmag all of which go out far farther than the .308 although I use the .308 for hunting a lot at close range like 150-400 metres. The ammunition is around $4 each here ($75-85/box of 20), much more for Federal Match Grade but I make my own which work out to be a little cheaper. I was only shooting 9mm on Saturday so it's quite cheap really. Still, over $100 of ammo went down range that morning. Fun though.

The two of us fired over 300 pieces of ammunition this day.
How much it cost, I don't even want to remember 😁
I think the closest target was at 10m, and the far one at 30m.
Although I'm not 100% sure now, it's definitely over 20-25m. I don't know if you can judge from the video...

That hand gun is not 7.62mm. 7.62mm is a rifle round.

Surely it is that caliber.

This pistol (better known as TT in Serbia) uses 7.62x25mm ammunition, while the Zastava M70 automatic rifle (or the more popular Soviet AK47) uses 7.62x39mm ammunition.
I carried the M70 AB2 in the army, this M57 is my father-in-law's.

Ah ok, not a popular hand gun in the circles I've mixed in over the last 35 years, I guess due to there being far better options.
