This coming week
Posted: Sun Dec 18, 2011 2:30 pm
i am taking a customer hunting this week. Not my favorite thing, I prefer to keep my business and fun separate. However, the customer is an OK guy, and we will make the most of it. One benefit is budget, the company is buying the gas and grub. We gonna have REALLY nice steaks!
Anyhow, I got out and shot my roller yesterday, it is on the money, and I don't mean money bullet. Lyman 457193 bullet over 70 grains of Swiss 1.5, it shoots fine. I hope to be able to report back here with some insight as to the bullets performance on thin skinned game. Also, I went out and shot 2 x 3 shot groups outta my Model 70 in .280 Rem and that gun shoots amazingly well, just spectacularly. I won't even say how good cause you guys might call me a liar. I will let the rifle speak for itself, if given the chance. I shoot a Berger 168 grain Hunting VLD at 2850 fps. It really shoots well.
Good luck to all you good folks hitting the woods this week, please be careful!
More later......to be continued
