thanks , i think im going to be switching to my creedmoor for the rest of my tags gettig inside a good range to shoot with the grendel is very hard on flat land with no cover the creedmoor will extend my good shooting range by a good bit , that being said with good shot placement i think id take the grendel out to 500/550ish yards

my deer tags are also active right now but i typically wait till september to start filling those tags ive got some better bullets on the way so ill have time to work up a load with those and go back to the grendel for the deer

Mel where the heck are you with active deer tags already? Great shootin but good grief making us envious with those tags!

[mel]

landowner/dep tags i get them early and get damn near 3 months to fill them

Can't beat that with a stick!!!
Good for you.

Nice mel! I'm still looking for my first kill of the season. Wolf came in and scattered them all.

Congrats on number 1 mel. I'm jealous but vicariously enjoying tracking your success. Looking forward to the vids.

Use the RAV function on the scope and there's a lot less editing
