Looks like they shoot to me 👌
Is there no more gas in the tank for that Sherman though? 2950' seems about 150' slower than expected.

22" barrel. This may be a slow barrel. Comparing to others that have them. It has never been fast, but it kills WT DRT.

It is just below pressure at 62,gr so didn't try to go higher, but you see how it shoots there. It is an older Savage action so bolt face could probably be worked over and may remove some of them.

Nosler 180gr shows max for a 338-06 at 2950+ with various powders. 2650+ with 200-210 grainers. There may be a little more with Staball 6.5/RL17, but with this rifle, I have found Varget shoots well. For my Virginia use, this is plenty. If I need more, I'll grab another rifle.

No they just come around every year around this time and start eating out livestock feed. They are definitely neighborhood deer. They never leave totally just move around the neighborhood.
Same here. This guy shows up like clock work. Today at 2:30pm. Velvet shed. Bigger bucks show up later.

I'm guessing one of the Jamacan hotel workers the import every year for Touron season. I hope he gets 9 years and 90k fine plus.
