Lytle Creek and Burro canyon are both outdoor ranges, Lytle Creek is off the 15 near bass pro and burro canyon is in azusa, both are good ranges. Indoor ranges are prado, and the firing line, thats $20 an hour though, but it has A/C

Like what? Ive been going for 17 years, and only recall 1 idiot gangbanger looking dude who was rapid firing from the hip and the range master pulled his firearm and stopped the dude, only downside is its far away. Still my favorite range of all.

Like drink'n and shoot'n, and stuff. I'll certainly take your word for it. On our last Angeles Crest run, we ate at Fuddruckers, then my brother and I went to Bass Pros. It's seems like there's something like an attempt at a downtown strip close to BP with places to eat. We could shoot n' eat. :huh: Are the lanes fully exposed or is there shade of any kind? I'm mega-hyper white. Seriously I got a little burnt standing in the shade wearing SPF50 last Saturday.

Oh sure, the entire area is called Lytle Creek, but the Lytle creek shooting range is one of the best run ranges that does NOT tolerate shit like that. The lanes all have shade coverings on them so you're arent in direct sunlight the entire time, tables are bolted down so they are stable when you want to use heavy artillery. For the long range shooter they have a 100yd, 300yd, 500yd, and 1000yd range, skeet range for shot guns and they dont gouge you on ammo like prado does if you need more.

L.E. in this case is my old Lee Enfield No.4 Mk.2 - Its the standard british rifle of WWII - Dad and I have a thing for WW2 rifles...not sure where it came from. Its .303 caliber, so roughly equivalent to something like a .308 - hence the need for an outdoor range. Fwiw Lytle Creek is my favorite range in the area for things like that, never had a bad experience there myself.

For those of you who voted morning, is that "morning or I can't go" or "prefer morning"? Me an mornings don't get along so well, but I can make it happen if there's a strong preference for morning, it's almost even at the moment.

You still can. California law states you can shoot anywhere as long as you are 1000yd away from civilization. So unless you're being completely retarded you're ok. But yes i have some bad stories of my own from up there.

Lytle Creek closes at 4 but only allows admissions before 3pm so for the most shooting time its best for morning.

The rangers won't let you shoot up there any more and for good reason. I was up there with my wife and daugthers about a year ago hiking when we heard gun shots from the creek below us. I hurried away from the area and when we got down to the creek where my Explorer was parked there were two idiots firing in the direction we were in. They were about 100 yards away from where my truck was parked. I was pissed and my wife grabbed my arm as I started to head up to them and said let's go. On our way down we ran into a Ranger who was on his way up. We stopped him to let him know and he told us that they aren't allowed to shoot up there any more.

If you were in the state park portion of the area then yes, but either way if he was parked that close to your truck he broke the law either way.

Is the range within relatively short distance of food, or might pizza deliver there, or can you set up a grill outside or something? I was thinking maybe starting late morning and having a early afternoon lunch break at the facility, then more shoot'n if anyone wants as an alternative to going anywhere.

Uhm the only problem with meeting outside is there really is no, outside, road ends into the shooting range, and there is a small lot thats used only for registration and they make you move to a new spot when done shooting, we could all meet at the gas station at the freeway, large lot that usually trailers park in during tow season. Or just have everyone register as they arrive.

See OP. There's not really a meetup place outside Lytle apparently, so just go in around 10:00am on the 28th. I've never been so I don't know if they have targets or how much they are if they do, so you might want to bring some. PM me with your cell and give me a buzz as you get near. I'll let you know what the lane situation is. It's my first time there, so I'm not sure what the sharing arrangements can be.
As Chuck said, we'll have some paper punch'n .45 ACP at low prices if that's what you shoot and need ammo.

You don't need to buy the dies, but an initial minimum purchase might expedite the overall process. :)
I don't know about Chuck, but I'm particularly interested in the precision loading of rifle ammo, which brings a whole set of micro details not (so) relevant to loading for pistols, especially when just punching paper.
What are we talking about here? I have one friend who has the same problem for Mauser 8x57. There's surplus ammo, but it's all corrosive stuff.
Are there many others interested in this caliber as well?
Also, for my calculation purposes, what kind of a "fair market price" and quantities are you theoretically interested in?
No commitments here, just discussion. This all just helps us make a reasonable calculation.

I have not been out in a couple of years, but if this turns into something that I still enjoy doing. I am interested in 45-70, 30-40 krag and probably 38-55. Would need not more than 80 rounds of each at a time. I am checking into max breech pressures for each paticular rifle. Probably would be wanting to mix and match, whether I am punching targets or trying to hurt my friends shoulders! I might still check into my own loading setup, me and my dad loaded our own ammo for alot of years. But like I said, that will depend on whether shooting still rocks my world. Oh yeah, prices. Well I'm paying about $40 for 20 45-70, have not checked into the 38-55 yet and the 30-40 I can not purchase yet. National backorder since Nov. '09. But those were going for about $30 for 20. What if I bought the dies? would that help the bottom line?

Man you were serious about antique!
As for dies, that lowers cost a whole bunch, and if there isn't a market sufficient market for these rounds, that'd make all the difference in the world. Another way to do the same thing is just commit to an initial purchase of rounds suffecient to cover cost. It's the same to you cost wise, but you end with a bunch more ammo.
Let me do a little research. The brass ain't cheap that's for sure. Do you have any?

no bench pad, all my rifles have bipods. But go ahead and bring it with you and i'll give it a good once over. If it turns out to be something i can fix, i can take it back to my shop and strip it down and fix it.

Its not "just" a stock. Its a rifle system. And it was designed specifically for the M1A. To make it the ultimate battle/sniper rifler.

Got me some targets today, man it's hard to find something big enough for me to see at 100 yds. Thought about taking some poster board and drawing a big circle on it. Should be fun to see if I can hit a target, usually just shoot at beer cans and rocks.

try finding silhouette targets, many counties and cities have laws against selling them.

Has anyone been to this range? Was wondering if I should bring sodas and snacks? Tried calling but they were already closed.

I haven't been, but Shaolin can fill you in. In any event, probably not a bad idea, just nothing melt-able. :smack:

Would You happen to have a bench pad I could borrow for the day? I do not usually go to ranges. So that has not been something I have had a use for.

No, but I have a packing blanket I can bring that's probably better than nothing.

Technically, max size is 5MB (AIR, would have to check). But that's ginormous and will load awefully slow. *Generally* I find pics around 800x640 in a higher quality JPEG format look pretty decent and hover around the 150Kbyte mark. Thems load just fine. I'm beginning to work on mine now.

This is what the firing line at Lytle creek looks like.

The range master was always ready . . just in case the shiznit got real.

Whenever Chuck gets near guns, he smiles.

Guy, pronounced "guy" not "gee" (a.k.a., Shaolin Crane) never smiles. . . except when talking about guns.
http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg298/Vettezuki/LytleCreek_10-08-29_07.jpg
Seriously. Smiling is all he can do when holding a lethal weapon.

Mmnm, they don't look that dangerous.

A rare picture of me bringing the pain. Get a hair cut hippie.

This may be one of the most terrifying picture ever.

Wait, no this is. Chuck is still smiling. But you can sense a little worry this time. (Oh, the other captions I could have written.)

And the gun with the most ridiculous kick of the day. The gub-ment 45-70. Firing this thing was more like getting punched in the face than shooting. Those were some burly dudes who fired this from horse back.

Yeah, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil for I am on some awesome meds.
