[QUOTE="IHFarmer07, post: 2358248, member: 75397"] Sorry for the late answer, I didn’t get a notification on this. I was running the first gens there. Lol, idk about any secret but they shoot tight in my prc 26” LT Palma Krieger 4 groove 1-7 twist .130 freebore in a short action, cbto is 2.239” which put them at .025” off the lands, 55.6 grains RL23 clocking at 3267. Are you shooting the first gens or second? Maybe a different powder or primer combo is needed, I know that’s hard to do now though. Was supposed to get second gens but they sent the the first gens instead🙄. I’d like to try the DBll’s but idk, I shot a few deer this year with the first gens and while I was excited and happy with last year’s harvests, this year I payed more attention to external damage/blood loss/trail and I probably won’t be using the first gens anymore hunting. I shot two does at 76 and 140 yards through the shoulders on purpose and while the deer dropped (one actually landed hoofs up, didn’t move lol) the damage inside was great! The damage/hole size externally though was lacking. Hardly any blood loss eternally, didn’t even have to wash the bed of the SxS. Had shot a buck right behind the shoulder, little low but at 176 yards and it ran 20 yards and fell. Same deal, no real big blood loss for tracking. Don’t get me wrong, love the idea of monos but idk if their for me. Most use monos for laws and or because they have an expensive hunt and can only harvest one animal so meat savings are a must. Me on the other hand, I’m into the management of deer to help save our crops. So with that said, if it gets shot through the shoulders, shoulders go by by and I’ll just shoot another deer. So, what’s the point of shooting monos for me. I’ll be trying the 156 eol and 150 ablr’s for a bit. I’ll keep an eye out on the copper bullets as I love the thought of them and the consistency of them, with reloading consistency is key!! Good luck [/QUOTE]
