Thanks for sharing! And good eatin'!!
Seems like a year since I last went after PDs... and it's STILL 3 months away!
I salted away a few thousand 50-Zs and have a couple thousand rounds loaded...
and I feel the loss anyway..."bummer...
Some guys have reported a difference in the ogive so the jury is still out as to whether Hdy just changed the tip color.
The A-Max is a great bullet regardless. The Z-Max captured out cash because...
The TAC load I mentioned above gave me 2870 from a 20" bbl, but I get about the same groups at 3210'/s (MVP 24"bbls), 3350'/s (Shilen 26" bbls) and in .22-250 from 24" bbls @ 3850'/s.
It's the...
Talked to a warden there years ago who described coyote predation as #1 concern after weather - hunting mule deer in packs and getting good at it.
I doubt that has changed since.

We have a Stag Varminter (#6) with 1:8 that performs like that with the 50Zs/TAC. Heavy, stiff, quality barrels get the job done. And in 2017 I shared a ridge on an Eastern MT ranch with a guy...
Didn't live there, just had property in Deschutes Co. Had an uncle and cousin in Cove, NE corner. I really like it there. Did a couple forays into the sticks outside Imnaha. Lots of elk, mulies, bear...
Yeah, .223 holes are tough to see at 200yds. Used to have property near Bend, have fond memories of coyote hunts out near Wagontire. :>)
Since max load is ~ 25gr, I'd go with the smaller increment - thus starting 10% below max is a super simple workup. Since it's lighter than published maximum, I'll offer that my Remingtons and...
At least 1 of the ranchers I know uses a 17 caliber rifle for everything from PDs to coyotes but I confess I didn't learn which one.
And when he had PDs moving into an alfalfa field for the first...
Agreed! Spent 4hrs in it 2 yrs ago.
Makes you realize there are 9 failed ideas for every commercial success.

I grew up reading stories of PA groundhog shoots - the testing ground for much of the wildcat cartridge development. I'd love to.

It's worth remembering these extremely rural folks aren't simple, they just live simpler lives than we do in Seattle, Dallas, Albany, etc.
They have and use computers and cell phones but the...
Sorry, denton, I missed your post. The bolt guns I have which take AR mags are Rem700s in .223.
They started life as "Tacticals" but now have AR mag conversions, 26" Shilen barrels with brakes, ...
Three of us filled 12 deer and antelope doe tags in 4-1/2 days of hunting near Cody a few years back.
Saw griz and moose, too. Tags/licenses were $39 for each critter for non-residents. There was a...
It's worth the time, especially as close as you are. Stop in every small place you pass and ask. Often they'll give names and directions- seldom addresses.

Great group! How'd you happen to select this powder, previous experience with it?
I love the tech improvements happening in our sport?
When I started shooting 1 moa was the holy grail! (And...
My PD pard uses Benchmark with great results in .223. Fantastic MV!

"My next project will be to work up loads for my Savage 24" .22-250 bench rifle with 1:12 twist to see if I can duplicate the MV with this bullet - and see if the increased MV results in better...
OK, I figured it out and edited the post. Pic is vertical and I reworded some of the findings slightly - hope it's clearer now.
You're welcome. Now I have to learn to operate a Dropbox!!!
