Got the open sight Optima out today at 100 yards with 100gr BH209, 250gr Aerolite and cci mag primers. I took 5 shots at 100 yards with this load and only my first shot was just SLIGHTLY out of the group! The next 4 cuts each other in a straight horizontal line! Im not sure of the group size but when i get back from the range i will post some target pictures.

Also shot 90gr BH209 with those Aerolites and got a pretty decent group but no where close to being sweet like the first go with 100gr BH209! I love this rifle! I honestly think i will never be able to sell it, just one of those guns that shoots so sweet that you're afraid of getting rid of it and never being able to replace it again.

Shooting a bit higher than i wanted so i will take care of that later on. Going out to try 90gr BH209 with the 250gr Thor before i call it quits.

To freakin hot to shoot! 70* with snow on the ground Almost hot enough to go out shooting in boxers and snow boots.

hey i got venison steaks on the grille! Taking the time to get the pics off the cam and resizing, uploading, posting them could cause those steaks to burn and then i will be grouchy the entire night

Breechplug

Don't burn them venison steaks. anything more than med rare is wasting them!!

I know.......you'd be surprised at all the people that hunt that dont realize that venison is suppos-to-be cooked so it's pink in the middle, it's not BEEF and should be cooked accordingly.
I've had venison cooked ar friends houses and it was burnt to a crisp and tough as nails, I had to jump in and show em how to properly cook it.
My venison steaks melt in your mouth as do my chops, people swear there eating steak when they try it, Im like, it's close but Better.
