   That reminds me. I really need to get that gun out of the truck & clean it now.

WTG HaMer!

So glad you're getting out there so I don't have to.
Didn't even get one tag this year because of working so much.

Hey! Have you tried calling any 'coons? 

[HaMeR]

Thanks vv. No coon calling yet. I'm thinking about going out tomorrow AM over here in Midvale where I deer hunt.  We found a 1/2 dozen likely den trees to call. I'm gonna take my Brother since he has the keys to the 4 wheeler garage & knows where they are all at.

Here ya go Barry!!  

Winchester APEX 50cal inline with a 209 lighter doing the deed for 90grs of fffg 777 powder which in turn begins the spiralling forward momentum of the 240gr all lead Cheap Shot HP bullet encased in a plastic sabot.

Thank you.  That's quite a looking weapon you have.  I'm kinda spooked at FFF powder in my old girls but I'd like to chrony F to FFF just to see the difference.  Your sighting system may be what I need to go to shortly

  @ the sighting system!! I was just getting there too.    That is a Bushnell Banner Dusk to Dawn 3-9x40 shotgun scope. I got the extra power for range work & I hope to get it out on groundhogs someday.   That would be a cool video.    I carry it on 3-4x tho for deer. I would also like to add that at the range I shot that deer I heard the resounding solid THUMP of impact. I was impressed with that. Depending how much powder you're using now the fffg would be OK in your rigs IF you adjusted accordingly. I don't remember anymore but it was something like 80grs (<example) of fffg was 25% more by volume than 80grs of fg. So the ffg would fall in around the 12 1/2% range. PLEASE DO NOT quote me on this tho.    

I wish I could find the range target from load development for these bullets. It had two 3 shot groups of 1 1/2" at 100yds. They shot as good as the expensive copper jacketed poly tipped bullets for a fraction of their price.

Nice job Glen. 
Yep, that outfit looks like it'd get the job done. 
Congrats

[HaMeR]

Thanks Scott. It'll definitely do the deed. As long as I'm up to it of course.
