I used to pick up once fired wads on the skeet field and load them on a Lee…
I said wads, not hulls….

Calling all poors, what is the most poorish shooting sports thing you've ever done?
- Thread starter Mr. Wolf

Like grocery shopping *behind* the store? I thought they were one in the same...
The MOST poor?
I've reloaded 7.62x54r steel cases using water, a dowel I sanded to size by rubbing it on concrete and...
Oh, wait- I also have like 4 Taurus pistols, and 2 Ruger p89's. I'll roll with that.

As a teen, a bunch of us went into a barn of a wealthy absentee landowner, trespassing, took a skeet thrower and a case of clay pigeons to an overlook skeet shooting shot, shot the clay pigeons and returned the skeet thrower back where we got it. And we had to fix the skeet thrower to get it to work so, no harm no foul.

Installed new extractor yesterday afternoon and went to the range today. Shot 72 rounds of steel case and 50 rounds of brass. No failures. Looks like the Tisas DS 1911 is back in action. But, from now on my match range bag will contain a backup gun, just in case…
Ever fix a jam during rimfire positional practice and it looks like a bent nail?
But you say what the hell, it's practice/plinking anyways.
So you unbend it and jam it back in the magazine to save that 2 cents/round from the Winchester 555 bulk pack you bought in 2006 and proceed to shoot because you know, "practice."
From the wear induced by the additional dirt/debris, risk for a squib, a flyer from something that looks like the cars that Big Foot drives over, and ultimately not knowing whether you missed the shot because of the boomerang shaped cartridge or poor position build, I just wasted time and wear/tear on my system.
Poors gonna do what a poor does best... waste the most valuable resource that can never be replaced, time.
PS. If you've picked up ejected rounds after 22LR matches and shot them to see if match ammo does what match ammo said it can do, you my friend are on the SnipersHide welfare system.
Happy shooting, YMMV

Back on track... a thing that took me forever to learn in this PRS game is that the game is about balancing the rifle at a single point.
Mass and balance point of the rifle 2-3" in front of the magwell helps tremendously for positional stages.
Well being a poor, I could not afford the fancy M-Lok weights that run between $59 - $99 for .5 to .75 lbs.
Poor-engineering to the rescue. 5"x2"x1" iron bar stock, rattle can, drill + tap set, and $15 ARCA rail from Amazon and you get this 2.5 lbs piece of modern art suitable as a counterweight.
It moved the balance point 2.5" in front of the mag block for my Bergara B14r Steel Barrel when mounted on the springboard, I mean bipod spigot. Even I know not to mount my Caldwell clone from Chynuh on that wobble contraption.
YMMV, happy shooting.

I totally dig your cheapp-ass chassis weight work around.
I will post another ridiculous example that I copied from another user on here, but first here is my janky setup for powder drop and trickle I think you guys might like to see and make fun of (FF to 0:55)
Today was a snowday = watching mad max and making ammo. Stay cheap and shoot more but not quite as good?
