If you don't put at least a couple of hundred rounds through a SD gun, how are you supposed to know it's even remotely reliable? Well, any gun really.

I put just over a couple of hundred rounds through my 7mm08 the first summer I had it. Let's face it, I wanted to be comfortable with the gun. More rounds through different positions makes me a better shooter. I need to trust not only my gun, but myself.

I wish more hunters were that way.

I'm still mad at myself for losing my cool and missing the 7 pointer at 120 yards with the first shot this year. What a bizarre situation it was, but so much fun. Thank the good lord for rut stupid bucks that stay still under fire! My second shot was spot on.
