daisy the rut is controlled by less light or shortening of the days which causes the cows to go into estrus. A constant heavy cloud cover can effect it but hot or cold not to much. Good luck on your hunt. danny

It was good training for jungle fighting at the distance you engage, first on the trigger wins a cookie, with a auto you can walk your rounds to the 10 ring. The point guys in the blues platoon carried brng A5 12 ga with buck and flechette rounds. danny

Ted powder is getting better around here I have been buying RE15&17, 2400 and 5744 my favorite for cast. but finding 22 mag is like looking for hens teeth, I guess for fur & predators this year I'll have to dig out a 22 CF. danny

A couple of three that has your powder, I load 12.5 gr of 2400 for a 180 in a pistol and I also use Lil'gun the book calls for 15 grs under a 180 I load alittle bit more.

If the bbl is really shot out just re-barrel it, about 260$ from Pacnor + installation about 300$+ bluing. JES smallest rebore is .338 caliber. relining isnt in the cards either. danny
