Loaded for a month

[fishdoggydog]

Yes that is right, I loaded the rifle New Years weekend and shot the round off 5 weeks later. I loaded up for predator season, and called one grey fox in, that saw me put the gun up at 100 yds and left. I don't have kids in the house, and kept it in a basement closet behind the water softener, as a reminder to me that it was loaded. It went off nice and clean, put the 245gr. power belt right on the money at 75 yds, aimed it off a rest at the split of torn bark on a dead elm. I can't use my .243 for coyotes around the home place, too urban, but my .50 cal. is legal, but not any quieter.
