Hi Fred,

No plans yet...waiting for Montana to draw. I'll be somewhere that time of year doing something, though... smile.

I suspect the 1-16 twist prefers shorter bullets of a given weight. My rifle shoots the 250 gr RN and the Speer 250 GS much better than it does 250 gr bullets that are longer -- though it pretty much shoots everything plenty well enough for hunting elk and caribou. But the Hornady RN's it shoots spectacularly, and I've killed game somewhere past 350 yards with them, so I'm pretty much settled there. It also shoots the 250 gr Woodleighs very well, but they're sort of a semi-RN anyway.

Health-wise I'm moving along pretty well -- four months to go, and then we shall see. Went to Texas in Feb and shot some pigs with my .338 Fed and my host's 12 gauge, so that was pretty fun. And the organic, free-range pork is really good... grin.

How are things there for you?
