Nothing like a fresh snow, gives away their newest travel location.

I looked closely on the ground, on out to 15 yards and there wasnt any blown out unburnt powder so thats a good thing. I will up it to 100-110gr RS and see if i can shrink the groups.

I also took one more shot @ 50 yards at a tree, hit dead center and again, no unburnt powder on the ground.

28" barrel and 90gr RS.
