GBR VI: Day 1 Agenda

Thursday, September 8th

8:30 am. Leave the Silver Legacy “Silver Baron C” Hospitality Room for one of the restaurants for breakfast.

9:30 am – 1:00 pm [I will be Conference Calls and meetings not related to GBR VI]

2:15 pm. Leave the Hospitality Room to car pool to Cabela’s.

3:00 pm – 5:00 pm. Guided tour Cabela’s and browsing/shopping. Pick up munchies and soft drinks on way back to hotel. Buy ammo?

[Since airlines limit ammunition in checked baggage to 11 lbs (about six 25 round boxes), I’ll be shopping for more 147 gr 9mm Luger ammunition.

147 gr 9mm works very well as subsonic ammunition, even if it is not indicated as ‘subsonic’ on the packaging – “Subsonic Marked” ammunition usually carries a 50+% pricing premium. Using ‘factory produced’ 9mm 147 gr ammunition, I’ve heard perhaps one round out of 50 pass the sound barrier and produce the supersonic ‘crackle’.

The difference between subsonic and supersonic ammunition is very noticeable when using a suppressor.

With subsonic rounds through a suppressor, the only sounds that you hear are the clack of the bolt and the ‘twhack’ of the bullet’s impact.  Supersonic rounds add a distinct sonic ‘crackle’ while the bullet is in flight.]

6:00pm. Leave the Hospitality Room to go to dinner. Location to be determined later.

Thursday Evening until midnight: Refreshments and conversation at the Silver Legacy Hospitality room. Bring your own refreshments and munchies.

[Conversation is the real reason for the Gunblogger Rendezvous meetings.  It’s not the range time, it’s not the Casino. The real reason why we return every year is the conversation!]
