Atypical Results

I've been doing a bit of reloading over the last couple of weeks and really practicing with my hunting rifle. Here's a series of photos that show some atypical results achieved one rainy and overcast day at the range.

I couldn't help but notice the KUIU jacket you're wearing,[a bit sad I know] I've been following their blog and was wondering if you'd do a review?

SBW...I managed to pick up several pieces of the Kuiu stuff this year. I do plan on doing a review this fall, probably after my sheep trip when I've had a chance to wring them out thoroughly.

I've been wearing them for a lot of training and summer adventures though and I'm very impressed. We've come a long way in technical hunting clothes in the last couple of years. I've long regarded most technical hunting clothing as overpriced fads. I'm probably going to have to change my opinion.

What kind of rifle? Brand of info? Heck, what kind of sheep are you hunting? Excellent shooting!

@Ian- the rifle is a Nosler M48 Custom Sporter.

The ammo I was using is 150gr Nosler Ballistic Tips@ about 3200fps- a handload that I attribute to beginner's luck.

I have a non-motorized Dall Sheep tag for this fall that I'm prepping for.
