The hunting was great. The shooting was subpar. He made it to a deep hell hole of pucker brush, blackberry and poison hemlock. I took a pic of some blood and called it good. I'm a puss and highly allergic to that schit. Bird hunting over the years has had me covered to where I had to go to the docs. Several times. They say with each occurrence I get more pussified. If it woulda been a deer or turkey or upland bird I would've gone in. I'm talking hands and knees jungle here. Bloodied my ear anyway. All excuses aside, I just hit him to far back and need to shoot better. I was getting a good heart pounding out of it and just am a rookie on this game. I'm learning. P.S. 5 actually came in...................... I was pissing myself............ I may go back....... Have Dog Will Travel

Figured I'd give some CFE 223 a try. Loaded up some surplus brass, a few differnt bullets and some CCI 400's. Needed to fire form some brass anyway. Normally trickle loads but these were thrown. 100 yds, off the bench. Wind came up, but what the hey..... Shot back to back over 30 minutes or so out of a dirty barrel. I understand the CFE is supposed to clean as it goes. Best GWB Last edited by geedubya; 02/03/13. A Kill Artist. When I draw, I draw blood.

Now I'm wanting a McMillian stock,but that will have to wait until there is money. When wife gets home will try and get pics. This is the .30-06,the crack is on top where the tang is and extends to the right for about 2". Last edited by elkhunternm; 02/03/13.

Or maybe it helps you to relax and shoot better? I congratulate you on the catholicity of your taste... +2 on the rifle details. Debated trying that CFE (back when you could get it) but have lots of Varget and TAC to develop with. It ain't what you don't know that makes you an idiot...it's what you know for certain, that just ain't so... Most people don't want to believe the truth~they want the truth to be what they believe.

Feed barrel chuckle giggle you are funny. EHT, What was it Rick Nelson said in "Garden Party", Can't please everybody so ya' got to please (even pleasure) yourself!. I shoot a number of small calibers. I was thinking that a fast twist 223 AI loaded with 60 gr. partitions or 70 gr. TSX's would be fun to head shoot hogs. A heavy rifle like this and a brake, you can see the holes appear without ever losing sight picture. Most of my rifles aren't braked. But WTF. One of the things I do like about the rifle is that it shoots bullets from the 36 gr. varmint grenades up to the 70 gr. TSX's to just about the same point of impact. I don't shoot much past 200 yds. so I can put differnt bullets in different pockets and no fiddling with the scope. Different day, differnt powders, fireforming loads @ 100 yds.
