Well, down to a week and change before the MI opener. Got the 25-06 out to do an ammo test. Grabbed up 3 different loads, as the factory loads I sighted in with have become untrustworthy in the woods (how I'm getting a 20% misfire rate on factory ammo is a mystery). 1st load shot poorly... 3.5-4" at 200 yards. Switched to load #2 and Woohoo! 3/4" at 200 yards! Had to make a minor adjustment in windage and started center-punching the bullseye. All dialed in, and a ton of doe tags waiting...    I'm pretty sure this is gonna be fun. LOL gd |

Sure sound like fun to me. I’m leaving for Tennessee for gun season on Sunday but I’ll be doing it the hard way with a muzzleloader!

Nicely done man, good luck. I did the same last night with my 7mm RM. Was hitting about 1MOA right so glad I checked, but sure was happy to see a 3/4 3-shot group at 285yd. Moose and deer better watch out.

Just wondering are you getting light strike on the primers, if so maybe your in need of a new firing pin spring.
