Some friends and I headed up to the mountains for some legal shooting in the hills. It was partly cloudy and in the high 40s when we left home but when we got to 4,000 ft we encountered heavy winds, snow squalls and dropping temps. We drove into the shooting area as far as we could, the Jeep making it further than the Toyota (yay) so we stopped when the pickup couldn't go any further. It was foggy, snowing and blowing hard, perfect shooting weather! My camera froze up after just a few shots were taken so this is all there is to document it. I was shooting my Mini 14 with Wolf steel case and Olympic brand M855 which I have read is the junkiest 5.56mm on the planet. Both worked just fine for me. I also shot the 1919A4 which also worked perfectly with Tula ball. When finished we policed up our brass, targets, links, and headed on out. Just at that moment the sun came out and the temperature climbed 5 degrees, it stopped snowing and it was great. Too bad we were out of ammo!
Placing the targets. The range was an estimated 75 yards

The 1919 ready to shoot. I kept a blue tarp over it when not shooting it.
