I have several rifles that I have to pull the bolt to eject a loaded round. Those big long sexy bullets do have that draw back , especially with cold fingers.
Went out yesterday after supper and saw 5 deer and 2 sandhill cranes. Howie’s box call did set off the cranes. They make enough noise to scare off the dead.
This morning went out to my deer stand in the 40 and no luck yet.
I’ve scaled back also. Without question RL-17 and RL-26 are by far my most favorite powders. Been working on finding substitutes but those 2 are hard to beat.
Today I received what I believe is an unused set of 224 Wby dies. These are the original style Wby sold way back in the day. The cardboard box is even in decent shape.
