    Mouse, following your journey makes me very sad but watching how you have maintained your attitude has given me hope that we all can face adversity in such a way. I'll continue to pray for you & your family.
    I am surrounded with unconditional love. More so than I deserve. This gives me strength.

    Morning gents.

    First cup down.

    Had a dismal performance with the 6.5 yesterday. New loads being made later today and a reevaluation of bags or rest. First two outings with the gun the test loads grouped 5 shots at .52 to 1” with a .65 average. Yesterday day I couldn’t best a .74.

    Oh well - this game is a chase race.

    I'm not a loader/reloader but have you tried to copy a factory load you've had good results with? Not a smartass question either, being genuine..

    Sounds reasonably good considering the wind and rain I saw yesterday.

    :coffee:

    This six day a week crap doesn't leave me much time for rifle parties.

    Yep. We normally don't much get wind at my 100 yard range but it was a gusty wind that was running crossrange.

    It actually snow for just a second....

    OK...I amend my previous post. It was all the weather. Gun and I shoot perfect!

    Thanks, Patience!

    On a positive note, we found a nice hunting load for my son's Bergara and hit some steel with a old Remington 742.

    You get about three good shots with that 742 before the barrel heats up and the accuracy goes from 2 moa to OMG moa.

    My 742 is the same way.

    Morning

    Day 7 of my left ear infection. Went back to Doctor yesterday due to conditions worsening. It hurts to eat because the pain is bad when I open my jaw that far and chew. Stronger antibiotics and now waiting 3 days to see if culture shows a fungal infection.

    Still able to get stuff done around the house and work. So there's a silver lining.
