Yes Congratulations indeed
A question pops up thout:-
Why hunt with so little ammo? I have a small leather wallet which holds 10 rounds in elastic loops and folds ove on itself to cover the ammo. Fits on the belt or in the pocket, backback. I put 3 or 4 cartridges in the rifle and carry the wallet. On my 10 day trip to Missouri I took two boxes of ammo just in case I had to re-zero after the plane trip. It took three shots to check zero as the rifle had a clean bore to one fouling shot and two to confirm zero.
Only once on a trip have I had to reach for the wallet
and that was on that trip with a Button Buck as after head shootign him at abou 35 yards, as I walked towards him he got up
and I missed the second shot as he jinked and I rushed, two further shots through the head finished it but I reached for the wallet and reloaded before approaching him just in case .
Have a fear you see of not being able to finish up a wounded deer
so always start out with 14 rounds, heck th extra 10 rounds don't weigh much .
