"The WHITE"

[sabotloader]

October 10 - Rifleseason opens... I'll be there with the WHITE...

Decided I had better get out and shoot the White this morning - great morning for hunting or shooting... It is fall here and it seemed like a "late" fall day - cold and damp and a chilly wind... what more could a guy want.

Got to the rock it loaded up my elk load set things up and got ready for a good morning of shooting something... rocks - paper - and pigeons.

Shot a few opening shots at different object in the pit - I really breaking pigeons - rocks - pieces pf wood - then a few at the target. Then thought I should get serious and shoot a group. Used the top left target on the sheet...

This will work for me.

That is some excellent shooting there sabotloader. I really do not see you having much of a problem taking anything down with that load.. good luck this season.

Don't ya just hate a dang show off.

U b n bidness! Good shooting.

I shot a few rounds today also, nothing to brag on but not all that bad considering the nut behind the trigger. Was shooting the mini-Mag White .451for the first time. Rifle and the Leupold Rifleman scope performed great... but I didn't. I kept suffering from mental flatulence.

just curios, Is your 110 gn load a volume measure or a scale load?

[eldeguello]

That should do the trick!

It is a volume load - i tried the measure and scale thing for awhile - but was not convinced that it made that big of a difference for me- maybe if I were a better and more consistent shooter myself it would make a difference- but volume works for me.

Another thing that rolls around in the back of my mind... I am a hunter not a target shooter... MOA targets do not do a thing for me as much as hitting the animal or object that i am shooting at in the conditions I might be shooting and of the course at the range the animal might be. I have this thing about if I can put the bullet in an area 3" up/down - left/right of my POI - I have a dead animal. I do shoot groups just to make sure the rifle will do thatconsistently. Cloverleafs are nice and get you excited but a dead and down critter is more exciting.

Just me... I have always had a problem conforming...

Yah! Dat der'es pretty good SL. 300 gr bullet ahead of 110 gr 777 ought to do the job.
Looks like you had your UMag prettied up since I saw it last.
Good Luck on the Wapiti!

I'm w/you sabotloader. Not that there's anything wrongwith people who shoot every day. I just never have been that way. I find a load that works. In my case a bullet that performs the way I would like w/out costing me an arm and a leg and then get it as accurate as possible (my max range I can see in the woodsis about 50 yrds so if I can hit a softball, I'm satisfied) and then I'm done. I deerhunt exclusively w/MLs so its a big passion of mine, but I have loads worked up for each gun and only shoot a few times a year.

Maybe I'm weird.. but I'm ok w/that.
