Wow, I really do appreciate the time and effort you all put into responding; much appreciated.
Two consistently mentioned outside the parameters I was looking (one lower; one higher) were the 243 and 7mm-08 (some others but sporadically). Now the wheels are turning.
I do reload and H4895 was...
I forgot one thing. You stated you were making brush piles…do you plan on burning them?
I don’t and here is why. Bobcats love brush piles. So do fox, so do rabbits. If you like trapping or predator hunting or rabbit hunting keep the brush piles.
Outstanding job on acquiring raw land and having a successful hunt.
So, I’ve skimmed through most if not all of your posts regarding your projects. I do have some input; whether it’s valuable or not is up to you.
Background on my opinions: I bought 40+ acres in the Adirondacks back in 2002...

Congrats to all who posted. No matter the kill they always create a memory that can be recalled later. Unfortunately, the year is almost past us now, oh where did the time go...
Cost? Did anyone mention cost?
I have six centerfires: 223, 223 WSSM, 264 Win Mag, 30-06, 300 SAUM, 338 Win Mag.
Now, which two do you think get the most practice time? Anyone who said 223 first followed by the 30-06 are winners. MidwayUSA has the ol' $ per round on their website. For three...
Sadly, I sold mine. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Wish I could have that decision back. It was nothing special, just a Marlin 336 but the thought of me selling it still bothers me today. It wasn't even that I needed money.
