several doe trotted into the food plot.
i'm comfy in my chairpod.
the ruger american rifle, 1st gen predator edition, chambered in .308 winchester is loaded with cast.
the recipe is 17gn of 2400 under a lee c309-170-rf.
the lee is checked and tumble lubed this time around.
the cartridges are from a batch i loaded 3 years ago.
2 have been 'burned' to verify the nikon 3-9x40 is still 'zeroed'.
i range the largest @ 45 yards.
aim, stroke the trigger, cycle the action.
the targeted doe takes off and 2 others look around.
i grunt to get their attention and choose another mature looking doe.
stroke the trigger, cycle the action.
all does leave the area.
i clear the action and leave the box blind.
two does down within 20 yards of each other.
the each ran 30~35 yards from where they were hit.
firearms season in missouri, for me, over.
