Damn, you really have been bit by the ‘99 bug. Must be doing some serious business with Fireballs. .358’s then .284... I have to admit both intrigue me deeply. The .358 is easier for me to ‘comprehend’, the .284 seems like pure rareum unobtanium, but still intriguing. To the question, I need : Time Deer (life in NH) A new job and life. Hahaha Ballz swears by that oddball .284.... I am in no position to doubt his credence, but would sooner look for a .280 R,.... but...... Yes, I have the 99 bug, glad I got a few before they cost an arm and a leg. I have a 338 Federal 99 in the works. Last edited by hanco; 06/01/21.

Some of my best memories are on a Texas deer lease or a Colorado mountain. My target is Fall 2022. So much to do - mostly, finding a place and a crew to hunt with. Adventure is the only thing you buy that makes you richer

My rifle is ready .. likely will get a different scope by deer season but I wouldn't have any more hesitation to use whats on it sighted in right now than I had last year or the year before. Being in better shape woudl be good but not being in better shape isn't going to stop me. Anyone who thinks there's two sides to everything hasn't met a M�bius strip. Here be dragons ...
