So deer season is upon us, and I’m getting my gear ready. Silly season started at the range a few weeks ago with everyone dragging out their deer rifles. I had finished my load selection a few months ago and wanted to load up a few more rounds, check my zero and call it good. I meant to do it a month ago, but got lazy about it.
I had decided on using Sierra 180gr GameKings in my .30-06. I bought my box earlier in the year, and I haven’t been able to find them since. Cabela’s has been out of them, as well as my local reloading shop. I loaded up the 19 I had left, plus 5 Sierra 180gr ProHunter’s. I mistakenly bought the box of ProHunter’s a while back, so thought I’d just try them on top of the same load I was using for the GameKing’s just for grins
The GameKing’s have always shot well enough for me, but I would always throw one or two shots out of the 5 shot group, but generally would stay within a 2″ group. Good enough I suppose, but we all know that the jagged hole is like a hit of crack. So after I get everything zero’d for my chosen load, I pull out the 5 Game Kings.
All 5 in a one inch circle at 100 yards. Thank you Mr. Crack dealer.
In case you’re wondering:
45.7 grains Varget
CCI Large Rifle Primers
Remington Cases
180 gr. Sierra GameKing ( or ProHunters in this case)
OAL: 3.340″
Use at your own risk……. If you blow up your gun….it’s your own fault.

I’m now apart of the problem!!
Now that I have this, I can start working on getting the approvals to start teaching classes to help folks get their Missouri Concealed Carry permit. I’ll post more as the process progresses…..

Deer season is upon us. Just a quick reminder to unload your rifle before climbing your tree stand. A hunter in New Hampshire found himself with one more hole than he started his day with because he neglected to follow this rule. A similar thing happened to my wife’s uncle a few years back when he dropped his rifle as he was climbing down from his stand. Darn near blew his hand off mid-way between his elbow and wrist. He survived, but will probably never regain full use of his hand.
Remember, this is a preventable accident.

We don’t need a government investigation into collegiate football. It doesn’t need a Congressional inquiry, and it certainly doesn’t need Presidential involvement.
Citizen’s of Utah, you know what to do….
Vote THROW this SOB out of office.
I’m going back to my bunker now……

Wow, last post was on the 20th. 7 posts in September, and nothing since the 20th. Sorry about that. Seems I’m in a bit of a slump lately. I’ve grown disgruntled by the politics of the day, and I’m tired of discussing them. A friend of mine recently posted on Facebook “Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It’s just that yours is stupid.” I’m kinda to that point.
So, I’m here….just lurking…
