Rob, did you settle on a slug for savage?  My buddies shoot the 20 gauge mag Rem accutip.

Yes. I am shooting 3" Rem accutips. Easy decision after just shooting them once.

Im not totally satisfied yet but that combo seemed to be the best.

Well it's a damn heat wave but here I am on stand. But it's all good because I covered myself in face paint from head to toe and I have my Scentblocker banana hammock on.

Right on cue the wind seems to have switch and is now NW. Fingers are crossed something makes a detrimental mistake.

Pretty close to where I ended up with my CVA Accura. 90 grains though. Anything more and it was all over the place.

Make sure your giving plenty of time between shots with sabot loads... heat will destroy your groups

Definitely need some more range time. I actually shot two shots and then i would swab the barrel. Two more and swab again.

November 26 pm
54 degrees
SW becoming NW 5 mph
Partly sunny

Well... I never saw a deer walking in or from the stand. I have been leaving my stands at dark to help mask my exits due to the fact I have been hunting field edges in the afternoons. After not seeing anything I decided to leave a bit early. I got down from the stand, walked the edge of the field, and as I was walking up the tractor path I kicked out a big buck from the woods. He ran out and stood in the middle of the path 80 yards. I put the crosshairs on him as he just stood there. And stood there. And stood there. A good 5,6,7 minutes. The damn clock saved him.

He must have been bedded within 100 yards of my stand and I just happen to bump him on my way out
