That's a nice score Will...........they're fun to shoot, cheap to feed and highly accurate. If you think you might do a bunch of shooting you will want to look into getting an Ultimate Clip Loader

Check amazon, I think I saw them there cheaper than on the mfg's website.

Heading out to do some long distance shooting next Monday (Canadian Thanksgiving - we're doing the big meal Sunday instead) with my brother and our .308's I'm still hoping he can make it out hunting this year but the court duty he has slated for Nov 1st hasn't been cancelled yet. Oh well, if he can't make it, I'm still going. Now that the boats winterized and put away (I inherited the family boat from the same brother last July) it's time to prep the hunting trailer.

I got drawn for Bull Moose, antlerless Mule Deer and Elk. I will be getting my "general whitetail" tag as well. The general whitey is good for either sex from Nov 1st to the 7th. After the 7th, it's antlered only. I will likely pick up the two supplemental antlerless whitetail tags available for the zones around the town I live in and hunt them once I'm back from the trip west. The only thing I didn't get drawn for that I applied for was Antlered Mule Deer. I should get that next year judging by the draw results.

I'm hoping for a successful season and need to get out and ensure the preset's on my ballistic turret are correct. Also, practice makes perfect and to be consistent at longer distances, you need to shoot a lot!
