pre64win, sent you a PM.

Crystal clear, sunny, and quite cold at 17 degrees with some skiffs of snow. Coldness didn't seem to damper sage rat activity though.

Yes the excitement is taking hold. There were other shooters across from me in another field. From the sounds of it they were doing quite well also. Bill K and I ventured out Thursday also for a chuck fun. The weather was just a little to cool with a slight breeze making pickings slim. Did manage to...

The weather was somewhat nicer, mostly sunny, grabbed a couple rifles and headed out. Rats were a plenty in
the area. These were taken with the 20 SCC as were many others,also with a 221 FireBall.

This is my second outing. So for you picture lovers, here is what the 20 VT likes to do.

Your right, some are out in places and not so in other areas. My first outing was Saturday and I did leave alot of
squeakers wishing they hadn't come out. Should be improving daily now with this warmer weather.

It's good to have plenty in supply. Reloading supplies, brass, bullets, etc., are still able to be shipped to individuals here in California. talked with several suppliers this morning, only one has chosen to ship reloading supplies to a FFl Vendor after January first, and that's it's their adopted ...

You might consider using a rimfire gauge. I found as much as .003 difference in rim thickness in a box, both Hornady and CCI. In my 17 HMR, Savage93, there was a slight difference in accuracy among the rim thickness. One thickness seemed to shoot a tighter group over the others. Testing was done at ...

Went out and shot With Bill K this morning.
My 17 HMR 3 shot group. Savage 17 HMR
Harris bipod and rear bag
50 yards
Hawke 17 HMR rimfire with HMR reticle
Hornady 17 HMR ammo
Far shot .284
Group .344
Total .628

Either one would be a good choice. I have them both and both are fine cartridges. Which ever one I
take to the field, performs as I want it to.

Post them all so everyone who shot can see how they placed against one another. This will also tell
how many entered.
