Looks great Scotty, fine work on the bedding and shooting! It's ready for Elk..... Best,

The brown suited Santa has cost me a lot of money over the years, looking forward to seeing your finished projects and how they are working out. Best, BD

Shoot the round over again and compare, you may be surprised. Personally, I shoot 5 and then 10 rd. groups when developing loads and overlay the targets to see how they are pro/digressing. If everything is sound mechanically with the rifle and scope you will find a consistent sweet spot. Best...

Congrats on a fine bull !!!

8) That's cool

Thanks again Scotty, sure, I've even seen truck wheels hydro-dipped!!!! Depending on who you use , I think pricing for most places runs about $ 125- $200. There may be a little extra $$ in there for the transfer print as well. IIRC, mine was a little under $200. Best,

This has been my experience also, looking forward to the field report after you bring it home......... Best,

Yep, I was pleased as punch to recently get my 165 and 180gr. Accubond '06 loads shooting nuts into the same POI. Now it doesn't matter which box I grab... Happy, happy, happy. Good stuff

If I might offer up another thought to consider it would be make your own comparator gauges from cases fired in your chamber. The OAL to the ogive of the bullet will measure a little differently between the two cases because the Hornady case is unfired and not headspaced to your chamber and...

One method to determine your chambers headspace using fired cases from your rifle is by marking the shoulder and neck of the case with a black marker and continuing to screw the FL sizing die down, resizing the case until the bolt will just close snugly or what's considered a slight crush fit...

Appreciate that and agreed, a head shot isn't necessarily the best shot. I felt trying to thread a bullet through all the branches and trying to hit the vitals correctly without putting a bullet through the grass bag on this animal would be nigh on impossible. That could end up being a helluva...
