Yeah, I saw that shot go under the rail. He looks at us funny as he is cranking up the knob. That was a rookie mistake. :lol: Did he also tell you the wire caused him to ring a ram, too. :)) He had the only ringer all day with a heart area shot. He said he upped his powder charge for rams. I think he needs to up his bullet diameter. :D

Doesn't Bonner feel guilty winning all the time? I guess not, machines don't have feelings.

Alright guys, I did make a rookie mistake on the Rams with my Hunting Rifle the first shot was under the rail with a perfect break on the target. Sure enough I still had my turkey zero. The ram I rang with my 6.5 x 47 (using 142 SMK being pushed with 35 grains of Varget) cost me to loose a 10 in a row. This is a light load for Rams, my spotters will tell you they fall over in slow motion. I will be increasing the powder charge and searching for the magic 6.5 bullets that kill Rams effectively. Who makes the magic bullets? Note: the wire did not have any effect on the shooter and was not the cause for the lost ram. Using a quote from Lee O'Neil when comes loosing rams" filler up with more of the black stuff ". I should have taken his advice and increased the powder charge sooner.
