The cow was a Mountain Devil, and you had to shoot it 54 times?

Those REAL bullets are fussy about the rifles they come out of. Some rifles just love them and others won't shoot them worth a darn. My Lyman GPH would shoot them into one ragged hole at 50 yds (1:32) but by T/C 1:48 they shot terrible.

bronko, at first i had good luck until i tried 100 yards. All over the place, try 50 yards, all over the place again. Finally settled it by lubing my wads and no its consistent every time i go out to the range. Plan on trying coreys 440gr Lee mold next once it arrives. That will be some fun right there!

Bronko,

That's the problem with the REAL. It's not really a long range bullet. I don't know what the BC is, but it can't be good.

The Thor is accurate to 200yds. Maybe further, but that far enough. Where Jon is going to hunt next year. He could have some long shots. That's why I bought the Optima.

thats true to, im used t o elk hunting in closed up dark timber. That country in the video you sent me showed like some promising long distance shots. 250gr thor with my 110gr BH209 load sounds like the trick as usual.

I'll be hunting the edge of the timber, so, I could get any kind of shot. I want to be ready for it. I can use a scope.
