[QUOTE="BrianID, post: 2564584, member: 104589"] For big game I’ll often load a minimum of 50 rounds and sometimes 100+ rounds a month or two before the hunt. I’ll often shoot at least half of them to practice with that gun before the hunt and want to have at least 20 rounds with me for a hunt. I verify my “drop” at various ranges on paper before hunts instead of relying on only a calculation on my phone. Sometimes the expected calculation are significantly off. Last year my 300 win mag only was shot 3 times and was used to tag 2 deer and one elk. I did shoot it about 5 other shots during hunting season to verify zero. My other rifle, I probably shot 25 rounds during hunting season. I used it for only one deer. If you have the time and resources, shoot as often as you can. I’ve shot ammo I’ve loaded 20+ years ago and have never had a problem with old ammo I’ve loaded. I do keep my ammo indoors. [/QUOTE]
