The official 2025 Wyoming elk hunt for Dave N thread.

[Dave N]

Little bit of wind today but straight out of the west giving me a headwind. Time for some shooting! Found out that my rifle doesn't like the reloads I was sent. Couldn't group them and I was all over the map. Needless to say I was kind of confused. I had let the barrel cool down between rounds while I ran out to check targets in case that was having an impact. Just about to hang it up and decided to grab 3 of the Sig Saur loads that I had. Sent them down and what do you know things were normal. Hmm. Guess I'll be sticking with these for the hunt.
Here's my 200 yard target. The 6 high and right were the reloads and the 3 just above the bull are the Sigs.

The factory ammo is knocking on 1 MOA. Should be plenty good to kill an elk.

Yeah, I've had pretty good groups with it for a guy that doesn't bench shoot!

Looking good Nascar Dave.
