    Yep, understood. The .40 packs a punch, but I have been told the Glock 23 is about as easy to shoot as the model 22. The Gen 4 guns have the added recoil spring which supposedly tames the muzzle flip a little. One good thing about the .40 is ammo is easy to find, unlike the .357 Sig (I guess the Secret Service and Texas Highway Patrol buy it up).

    Another bump for first sales. Rec'd. my lanyards today, and am VERY impressed with materials and quality of workmanship! These are much nicer than I had expected - and will be a welcome addition to my outdoor gear (as well as useful gifts).

     

    The drops cinch up nice and tight, and the extra drops will be useful for LED light, compass, walkie-talkie, GPS, or diamond sharpener (or . . . you name it). If I had had one of these, I may not have lost my calls (which I am in the process of replacing).

     

    Always glad to support a fellow CWT member and small business that delivers as promised!

    Assume this was 7E? 7W is mostly Kaibab NF. But no doubt the same coyote pop.

     

    These guys are kind of the "black ops" for land management/conservation/multiple use agencies (except maybe the NPS). Used to be known as Animal Damage Control in the old days, then they became Wildlife Services, which apparently was considered a more PC euphemism. They generally keep a low profile. Depending on their budget, they sometimes show up in town to do some coyote reduction where the little old ladies claim Fifi or Fluffy was charged by a poodle-eating coyote.

    Becker,

     

    I know the year you are talking about, and somewhere I have a CD with photos of some of those bucks. What you describe makes sense, and indicates it may take a number of generations for the buck numbers to catch up anywhere close to where they were that year. I have always thought of 13A as a sleeper unit, positioned as it is between 13B and 12AW, with good bucks but nowhere near the PR and hype of the other units.

    Have not used either the bullet or the caliber, but have used the Barnes 110 gr. TTSX (b.c 0.377) in my LH Tikka T3 Lite in .270 Win. Loaded to 3400 fps using Re17, it is fast and flat shooting to 600 yds. (longest distance at which I have used it, checking zero during F-Class). I killed a mule deer buck with this load, held for 300 yds. and hit right where I aimed, though deer was actually at 250. Deer took a leap and turned a sumersault and that was that.

     

    I have recently started using H4350. Accuracy is better, but I am not able to get quite to 3400 with safe pressure. That is ok, much prefer consistent accuracy.

     

    Hope that helps.

    Unfortunately a bad time for the draw to come around with 2 new clerks working, be as patient as possible or as your will can allow you plz.

     

    Results will probably not be up on the website anytime soon BUT i will personally post the results in a new thread here tomorrow (CW exclusive).

     

    Also seems to be a few rumors floating about which was inevitable but rest assure that the draw went fine (minus the aftermath soon to be sorted out) and no funny business occured.

     

    Feel free to msg me personally with any questions or concerns 928.200.2209

     

    DAN

    Awesome, thank you.
