One of the tasks necessary for the NM elk hunt was to do a thorough bore cleaning and re-zero of my 6.5 CM( the only rifle I have which I can handle with my injured hands). Son and Grandson came to the house for a lunch break in today's deer hunt and had a few minutes before heading back out. We trundled out to the bench and Son did the shooting. All that was required was 4 clicks down--easy enough.
This was the first time Son had shot this rifle and it seems he liked it as he went back in the house and filled the magazine saying he was taking it for a test run on this evening's hunt. I've not used this specific ammo so some bullet testing is in order but today wasn't a good day for that. I have no doubt the ammo is adequate for deer but it will be interesting to see how it fares if the opportunity arises.
