[QUOTE="fordy, post: 2706194, member: 120504"] Gday To me it depends on where & what your hunting Today I don’t need to adhere to as closely as I use to but here’s what I used to do that may be like some people or different strokes for different folks is also cool it’s having a easy no clutter system that is repeatable under pressure that you don’t grab the wrong pill by mistake so here’s mine Overall I like to have my magazine full & pills in order of most likely If I’m walking to get to a advantage spot to glass I want a pill that can handle the worst possible angle as if your lucky to get that jumped animal the majority of the time it’s a raking shot followed by the energy dump type pills following this round as usually you only get a single shot in the wooded areas Low scrub & jumped animal I liked 2 in the first to be fired of the raking shots pill& remaing the energy dump pills Just cycle & remove the all angle pill if your in the need for that longer range pill as you’ve got time & no pressure Now move to DG or real tough critters I was energy dump first to be fired followed by all solids Now on these when shooting single shot rifles still energy dump first but 2 solids held between fingers in the rifle forehand hand ready for those follow up ( need to be careful on solid first in some scenarios as it’s not ideal in mobs ) First shot on the majority of these shots were broadside angles first then it’s raking When I was back if things go wrong shooter the solid was it & a good solid is a must Where / what I think most guys can do is if they want to run the following to reach way out is run your reliable exit pill across most resistances to a sighted in pbr then hold hair is the only thing needed to be concerned about once ranged if it looks past your consistent range estimations or range ( I also do a pbr for wind ) that will depending on caliber & pill cover 90% of people’s needs I would think after that pole on here on animal take range Then if your a long way out you will have time to setup do your sums remove your pbr pill & dial accordingly On energy dump pill I still want a reliable exit on a slight angled broadside as a absolute minimum but ea to own Today I’m not worried I can run one pill & get my parameters across nearly all scenarios Side note I use to either put a sharpie mark on case head to stop confusion in heat of moment but best was run 2 different brands of brass preferably one nickel Only concern is will that out there pill be ok if it’s a different brand & how does that brand like a different pill running down the bore prior to its journey 🤷♂️I guess the cold bore & fouling shot situation/discussion is maybe around the corner 😜 no proof read gotta cruise Cheers [/QUOTE]
