That is a very nice badger.
Did you skin it, I have heard the fur is good all year and is used in high-end paint brushes.
And, badgers, coyotes, and hawks are never enough to make a dent in the P dog population.
Why stop there? Working up a load is half the fun.
I have found type of powder can Make a big difference.
If you have other powders you may stumble across something that even works better. Often times I will try as many as 5 or 6 different similar powders.
I say keep what you have as a...
Just deer as in mule, white does, and bucks?
Depending on where I'm hunting.
On the prairies maybe 100, in the mountains, probably half that. In the heavy forest, maybe 10/20.
Shooters? That's a different story.
I have been looking in loads for the GD's soon-to-be-built 7mm Mauser AI.
The info is difficult to find for the AI in a modern action.
I think we will start with a 140 gr bullet then later a much smaller one for P dogs/coyotes.

Ruger American barrel does anyone need/want one in 3006? there is less than 100 shot out of it.
As you know I'm using the rest of it for the 7mm Mauser project. The 7x57 AI barrel should be here soon, I hope. We pulled the barrel off to be ready when it does.
Anyway, send me an offer if you...
My little granddaughter uses a Howa mini 20" bolt. Death on deer.
Not just white tail but big Mule deer bucks.
We load here 123 ssts, I don't remember the powder off hand.
11 deer and counting all one shot dead.
From 75 yards to 220 yards.

Go to the Home of the Sight in question copy the address and paste it into the space and see how it comes out. I find anything over 55 can be ok. Then I look when the domain was created. In this case, the rating...
