Thanks again fellas!! Much appreciated. I wrote in an earlier post I had loaded IMR 4064. It was 56 grains of IMR 4350! Geez!
Anyway! Got it done. Iโll bet that bull couldnโt tell the difference between 4064 and 4350! Great job! Iโm deer hunting next week with my 9.3 Lite, aka .35 Whelen. Got to drag it out of the safe with a new scope.

Congrats Kaywoodie.
I got an invite from my neighbor to join their group to hunt that area. The first time I've been up there since the big fire. We saw more elk in 2.5 days than I've seen in all of my other elk hunts combined. Unfortunately,, they were all on private . Having no trees to hide in sure makes them visible from miles away.
Laws aren't preventative measures. In other words, more laws won't prevent gun crime from happening.
