    Pig hunt was pretty good considering....used the Barnes 50gr TSX FB over some H380. They proved to be right at .5MOA ...then took the scope off, mounted and sighted in the Thermal. Got 3 in the first sounder at just over 250yds. I see I am outta practice hitting moving targets at that distance....I clearly saw that I stopped the gun on both rounds sent. My other buddy didn't have an issue with the 6.5PRC on the runners....he got a stander and runner...then the fog set in making it hard to range distance....then the rain set in... making it hard to get out of the van or see from the rooftop thermal. I do know a few spots now that could use a depredation permit for deer though

    Picked up a classic S&W 640-1 Lew Horton performance center factory ported model for a good price and went for it. Used to have one of these 20 years ago and always regretted selling it. Pistol is in nice shape and I am a happy camper.

    Got the strap for my powder horn and now all I have to do is cut the horn and insert the brass fitting...my luck the peg would fall out and dump the powder and no follow up shot if needed. Goes with my new Murse/Possibles Bag pretty good.

    Went to Element Range today. Took my 1903A3. Got hits at 300 and 400 yds. Iron sights. Probably just luck because I can barely see the steel targets. They need to paint them a florescent color then I know I can hit them. Man that .30-06 kicks like a mule. Don’t remember it kicking so much.
