I ordered these a few weeks ago and hadn't found an opportunity to shoot until last weekend. There is nothing wrong with this ammo. This is completely my fault as I confused myself with 8x57 JRS and JR. I thought they were the same until I tried to load the JRS into my Mauser and it obviously...
I'm wearing my regular single vision glasses, but I don't think this is sufficient to protect my eyes. Do you guys have any recommendations for eye protectors for those of us who have to wear glasses? For example, are there clip-on protection lenses that can be attached to regular glasses?
