Great to relive your hunting experience in this beautiful and well done video John.
I read your posts and few weeks ago, which were pretty well written and informative in every aspect. That said there’s nothing quite like seeing how your story unfolded and watch what took place.
The story...
Well for whatever it’s worth I guess I’m not the only one that couldn’t get them to shoot, I just went back to Ballistic Tips, and Partitions. But I have had better results with the standard Accubond vs the LRAB’s.
It’s basically a 300 Jarrett. H4831, VV N165, RL22, and 25, anything slow burning.
