I didn't look for the ejected shell although I should have..I will probably be back up later during deer season and will search for it.. First time for that gun to have a issue...Rem 700 in 260 Ackley.. Ol'reliable..Federal primer.. I had just adjusted the volume to where I liked it and was settling in for a stand until dark in a little more than a hour.. He came in so fast that he got under me to where the tripod wouldn't work..Then, I rushed the first shot shooting the stake off my decoy..LOL Click on the second try.. The third shot felt good and I wasn't surprised to find him around the corner.. I do have some footage of the blasting..

From the second video, it looks like your second shot chamber was empty, and no shell ejected on the second shot attempt. Looks like it failed to pick up the second cartridge. Great recovery on that third shot though! Just awesome. Last edited by Capt_Craig; 08/26/22.

And I think Capt Craig called it, looked like it never chambered a shell for the "second" shot. Thanks for more wonderful videos.

Old cat..He was down to his last 2 canines..At the check in, the ODFW biologist thought in the 10 to 12 year old range...They took a tooth so I will find out eventually..
