No one said you were not an expierianced shooter (1978, why does that dound so much like someone I've been working with?), only that those here are expieiranced, and are sharing their thoughts and insights.
You say you've had excellent results with your personally owned BM's,(7 ?), how do you reconcile that with all the problems everyone else is having?
When I worked at another facility in the DOE complex, BM's were bought post 9/11, I saw alot more then 7 fail to make it thru 3 rounds to zero.
Armorers working at the DOE academy specifically recommended against BM, not even for a "fun gun", as it "won't be any fun, if it doesn't work".
I know of another org. in the complex, that bought BM, due to availability, as soon as they could, they switched to Colt, because the BM "suck" as I was told.
What NRC site do you work at? I used to work at one, a few years back, and do not remember the reporting standards, or shooting schedule you speak of. Maybe things have changed, but the outage workers, always told us, how we were the only site that carried rifles, were so strict, etc. We'd loose rounds all the time, it happends, don't recall any reports. Just curious.
