Even though I live near Clemson, I've never been a fan. Always been a Carolina fan.
On another note, I saw some hybrid bass schooling activity this morning as I crossed the bridge on the Keowee River, right there at the nuclear plant. Ive caught some good fish in that spot over the years.
Welcome to camp my friend. I'm from SC as well, however we are miles apart
Im from the Upstate. About 10 miles from Clemson University.
I love the Lowcountry of SC and cherish every chance I get to hunt down there.
Again, welcome!
Your problem is not "what was done prior". Your issue is what was not done before you tried seating those bullets.

Hopefully, primers will become readily available again rather than one of those "would you look at what I...

Amen my brother.
Up to a certain point, I could care less about velocity. Now, if my hunting style dictated long range, 3-4-5 hundred yards I may be more interested in flattening the trajectory curve but my shots are within 100 yds, most times, half that or less, for deer, I don't think the...
