I built that little Sunrise Archery website using MS Word. Oh well, it works sorta.

Glad you are enjoying your rifle BDeather. Yep, get some #11 caps. Would one of those big boolits pushed by 70 grains of FFg T7 kill an elk - you bet it would so long as you put the bullet where it belongs.

Well I went out again today to do some 100yard shootin. Not near as good as the 50 yard groups but with open sights I was able to keep them all inside an 8 inch crcle. I still cant beleive how easy this thing is to load. I'm all out oflead until payday then I will pick up some 460 no excuses. So I either dont shoot until then or I put some plastic XTPs or Gold Dots through it. What do you guys think? I'm thinking I shoot the puny 300s.cayugad I used brake cleaner on my trigger assembly will I be alright doing that?

I've used brake cleaner on triggers before and never saw any harm caused by it. I hate to tell you to use brake cleaner because there are so many different kinds out there and no telling how strong some of the stuff is. I used Birchwood Casey Gun Scrubber on my White. While I suspect brake cleaner would not cause the trigger any harm, I could not say for certain that this is true. Be your own guide on this one.

Brake cleaner will certainly work... I tend to do what cayugad suggested about flushing it out in hot soapy water rinse it hot water - shake it or blow dry - flush it with a powder blaster (which you might substitue you brake cleaner for) - dry it - oil it... that is the simple quick way to get er done

Some shooting is better than not shooting at all - shoot that plastic 7 those 300's - I am using 110 grains of t7-2f and pushes them along something fierce - youmight even enjoy em... shooting faster and flatter might really surprise you from that Ultra Mag....

Shooting a 100 yards with open sights - there are so many varibles - how well do you see the target? which hold are you using? where is the front sight bead in the rear groove is it exactly in the same place and on the same place on the target? is the sight picture the same? what about the cross-winds are they consistent all the way down range? is there a cross-wind? what kind of bench/rest? Even if you are a great 100 yard shooter with one rifle the next rifle will be somewhat different - another learning curve. but not to matter the more you shoot the more enjoyment you get....

have fun - "Any day is a good day to shoot"
