Coming up for air

Well it's been a crazy several months (and not really in a good way). But I've been able to make it to the range a couple times with the CJ (mine is the .45/.410). As a comparison I've been at the range with the 9mm pistol so much I have a callus on my trigger finger (not joking).
Got it zeroed (or pretty close) at 100yrds (give or take). Also found I had a cracked stock. A buddy of mine actually bought a new stock for me, but using some woodworking techniques I learned back in my distant youth I think I've repaired the cracked one quite well.
I've found that the CJ really likes Hornady FTX. The 185gr almost breaks through 1/8" steel at 100yrds. The 225gr does just a bit better. I've attached a picture to show what I mean - you can see the polymer tip sticking through the steel.
I also am getting started with reloading. That should be an adventure!
