[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3137556, member: 43724"] Ok, anyone who has gone to a range has heard shrapnel ricochet overhead or have gotten a bit of lead come down on them, this is totally different. Was finishing up on a 50 yard range at USSA and putting my rifle in its case on the ground when I heard a small thunk about 2 ft away from me. Thinking it was a damaged round that rolled of the table I thought nothing of it. After putting a few more thing in my bag I turned and noticed the damaged round was still on the table. So I bent down to see what made the noise and I found this: [ATTACH=full]121442[/ATTACH] Yep, that is a 45 acp fmj. When I picked it up it was still pretty hot. The only thing I can think of is the range behind me is a 25 yard pistol range with a plate rack and a round must of hit the edge of a plate and went straight up and came down right next to me. New one on me for sure. I was going to switch over to their .22 bay and I asked the fellas in the next bay if they were shooting 45's. They said yep, so I told them I found one of their missing bullets lol. They were just as astounded as I was. [/QUOTE]
