Strip the bolt and use break clean in and around firing pin, NEVER put oil or grease in/around firing pin. My guess is some grease or oil is around your firing pin and making it sticky on the cold. You’ll never have an issue when your practicing or sighting in because the guns coming from a warm house and it’s generally warmer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can’t ask for more than that. Started 260gn but lost the tip. Measures .81” at the widest with an average of .67”. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve seen them plug with guts but never with lung. They are a hollow point with a plastic tip. Bullet performed perfectly, when I get it cleaned up I’ll post a pic and the weight. After I gutted her and examined the wounds I’m 99% certain if I was shooting a cartridge in the upper 2000’s fps range I don’t think she would have taken a step. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow, very humbling morning! 705 saw a doe coming in, watched her for 10 minutes to make sure she didn’t have a boy friend. In that time she had made it to 25yds. I was on the ground and with a puffy wind I knew she wouldn’t be there long so I took a quartering to shot, felt steady with elbow on my knee, gun went off with the cross hairs exactly where I wanted them. I shot her with my 450 bushmaster shooting Remington 260gn accutips. At the shot she spun and ran away appearing fine for the 20yds I could see her. Gave her a bit and started looking around 8, at 10 my brother came over and started helping. We couldn’t find hair or anything where she was standing. And started grid searching in the swamp and ravine in the direction she went. At around noon I was walking a ravine 90 degrees to my left of where I was when I shot her and found her dead 50yds from where I was sitting. I hit her in the hair I was aiming at on the point of her shoulder, Both lungs were mush, bullet was in the hide behind 2nd to last rib. I knew with 100% certainty that I didn’t miss her but it was hard to keep that confidence with zero sign of a hit. After I found her I figured out why she didn’t bleed much at all, I was shooting down on her a little so I held a little high on the shoulder. The entry wound was plugged with lung chunks so the only blood that she leaked came from her nose/mouth with no exit. The fact that she did a 180 from where I saw her running made it even harder. I guess the moral of the story is don’t give up after you shoot. I feel most people would have given up and thought they missed after 4hrs of looking with zero blood.

Best of luck! If you need a hand I can be there in an hour. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

From someone with 60% permanent hearing loss ditch the stupid muzzle breaks guys. I know they look cool but it’s not worth it. They sell thread protectors if you don’t want to just cut the threads off. Trust me when I tell you dealing with these frigging hearing aids isn’t worth the 2% reduction in felt recoil!

I’ll venture a guess and say you’re shooting a Remington 7400-740,etc. they don’t call them jamomatics for nothing. Take the forend off and I’ll bet the spring in there is dirty or rusty. If it’s not then check your magazine lips, they’re easy to bend if dropped and that will make them not feed/cycle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree with the first part not so sure on the second… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There isn’t one single thing a shotgun does better than a rifle for deer hunting. There’s a zero percent chance I would ever choose a shotgun over a rifle where a rifle were legal. I’ve killed my share of deer with shotguns and was never impressed with the way a slug killed deer. I hope my 2 slug guns rot in the back of the safe before I ever have to use them again.

Yesterday I had terrible tracking conditions and tracks everywhere. Today u have PERFECT tracking snow and haven’t cut a fresh track yet between a 15 mile drive and a mile walk so far. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was a couple miles away from where is saw him but I think it was the 7pt I let go opening day. 15” wide with real short times. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I caught him messing with a doe. Not a shooter for me. On to the next one Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Been really selective on a track I would take this morning. This time of year if you catch one wandering you can be in for a long day and never get close. I just got on a very big track that’s with a doe and I believe I jumped them because shortly after I cut the track they were running. I’m going to give them a bit to settle then get on it.

GOOD Wool pants feel like pajamas to me. Good wool isn’t itchy. When I’m getting dressed for a day in the big woods I feel as cozy in my woolies and rubber boots as I do in pajamas and slippers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That stuff was outstanding quality but it’s too heavy of a wool for me to wear. I prefer 18oz can get by with 24oz but that stuff was eating in the 30’s and I have tried and just can’t keep cool enough in them but that’s also why they lasted so long there’s a lot more fibers to wear through. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have considered this but I bought a pair of pants that had reinforcement wool in the crotch and the two layers wore out faster than a single layer. My guess is the friction between the two. I’m working with a seamstress to see a material in the crotch to get them too hold up. Problem is, what material. Denim would hold up but it soaks up too much water. Any decent stretch material won’t last… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Unless it gets down in the lower teens I often don’t wear anything under them. Once it gets cold I wear a merino wool base layer. I used to wear a lightweight base layer but found it didn’t do anything other than add a layer to get through when nature calls. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@Wolk please stop, you hunt with a 30-06 with 150gn bullets yet you’re on the internet telling people not to use a 243 because it’s velocity is too high and makes deer into jello. You do realize that your 06 with the ammo you shoot is within a few fps of a 243 with 95 or 100gn bullets. If you care about the meat why not shoot 220gn bullets from your 06, that 500 fps would save you pounds of jello if what you’re preaching were true, although it’s not.

You’re showing your ignorance again my friend. The gun he’s taking about is a cva scout single shot much like a tc contender. Not really a short range deer gun. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@Wolk I like you. I like a man that does his own thing and doesn’t give a crap what others think. If you want to hate 243’s have at it. If you want to put your opinion based on a test data of 1 that’s fine. But you really make yourself sound extremely ignorant when you try to go against others with way more data backing their decisions/feelings than you. Have a good day, did your daughter win her game?

Or you can look at it as 60lbs of wasted meat that you could have gotten from the same tag. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cut the crap man, if you gave a crap about meat you wouldn’t shoot 60lb BB’s, just think a 120lb doe has double the meat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
