elkhunter...That's wild, I've been on here since '04 and you since '03 and all this time I just figured you lived out west somewhere...Glad to meet a "local"...

Statjunk...We raise corn, soybeans, wheat, peanuts and cotton, depending upon the rotation and the farm...I'm fortunate that Dad was a Deere dealer and was able to buy these farms in the 60's...My brothers and I realize how fortunate we are to not have to worry about a place to hunt...

Head...I agree on the family thing, sounded like I was complaining, but I love it...We all get together at the Outer Banks for the week of the 4th as well...One house, eight bed rooms, all my brothers and sisters, grandkids, mom, grandad and we have a ball...We always have a big fish fry from taking the kids out on the boats during the week...

Salukipv1...My rifle just didn't like the Winchester Supreme 95gr, I just remembered I also tried the Fusion by Federal, can't remember if it's a 90gr ora 95gr...But it wouldn't group them either...

Here is my reasoning...Nothing I have ever used will best the Federal Premium 85gr HPBT for a fast, flat shooting round...There is no advantage to shooting a 90 or a 95 gr at 3100fps (if I remember right), when you can shoot the 85gr at 3320fps...Some think this is a varmit bullet, I did as well...Until I saw what it could do...I also called Sierra, this is not your "normal" hollow point...It has harder lead inside and a thicker jacket outside so it penetrates better than you would expect it to...I have shot deer with this bullet in the shoulder at 50 yards and had them drop...I will come apart, no doubt, if you want an intact bullet, it's not the one, but neither are any of the 90-95grs either...

Probably 90 of the deer that I have killed with this gun were killed with the 100gr CoreLokt...Since Labor Day, I have bought 10 more boxes...I'm afraid these ammo prices are just going to keep going up...If a guy just doesn't care for the 85-95 gr bullets, it's hard to beat either the CoreLokts or the Hornady InterLock...One of my hunting buddies has taken 30 or so with those...
