    Maggie’s Motivational Pic Thread v2.0 - - New Rules - See Post #1

    I worked at the institution that program was at. It was very difficult to get in and any disciplinary action would bounce dudes right out of the program. That included being late one single time. Dudes I met were squared away and recidivism was 0.0.

    CWD question

    My hunt was in Utah. Seriously though if the meat is processed without cleaning the equipment EVERYONE is exposed. It kinda makes no sense.

    CWD question

    I just got the call from DNR that my deer had CWD. We had it processed at a place that did a great job, but also processed with two other family members so all our meat is tainted. I called the meat processor and they told me their equipment doesn’t get cleaned unless there is a species change...

    One last update. Went to the range again yesterday and had two groups that were about 1/2” at 100 yards. I would say this problem is solved. Thanks again for the help!

    Took the gun down to barreled action, put it app back together and double checked torque. I also loaded some 165 TSX and 180 TSX rounds with 4831sc. My control rounds were the previously mentioned 4451 load with 165 TSX’s. The previous load shot about the same as I had experienced before...

    Funny thing is this gun has always fed really well. The accustock was fine and the new mdt stock with ai mag feeds perfectly.

    Great suggestions. I’ve done all the scope stuff, but I’m going to start over. Do you think the powders I’m using are too fast?

    If you could see me shoot you’d know I’m no bot. Maybe a broken bot…

    Not the scope, I had a MK5 on it and now a gen 2 razor. I changed the mounts when I did that. @Aftermath fortunately mine was free. Well it’s not now, but at least it started out that way.

    I tried the standard 10-20 thousandths off, then I followed whatever the manufacturer recommended. As for bullets and powder, Staball 6.5, H4350, IMR4451. Nosier AB150gr, 168gr ABLR, Barnes 168gr tsx. All of these have shot half way decent. Nobler e-tips 180 gr, Hornady 168gr ELD and 165 gr CX...

    I have a 300wsm that’s absolutely the bane of my existence. It started as a Savage Long Range Hunter and now has a new trigger and MDT XRS chassis. No matter what I do it doesn’t shoot under 2”. I’ve tried multiple bullet, powder and primer combinations. Bullets from 150gr lead and copper all...

    Zermatt Origin Vs ARC Coup De Grace? New vs Used make a difference?

    I jumped on the custom action with an Origin am super happy with it. Trigger Tech Diamond bolted right up and I bought a shouldered prefit from PVA. I was told I didn’t need go, no-go gauges , but I got them anyways because I have trust issues. Installation was exactly as it was supposed to be...

    Powder speed question

    Thanks for the fill chart, I only had a very passing understanding of this.
