Squeezed the trigger on a doe last night. Click. Pulled bolt back and ensured this shell was fully chambered. Squeezed trigger: click. Chambered a second round: bang!
First off, I can't believe there were 6-8 deer within 50-100yds and I got away with this movement and noise. That is another miracle and on another thread.
Upon inspection of the shells, both primers had been struck. One simply didn't fire. I got some input from J. I remembered him having some sort of issue with his 220 but couldn't remember what. His was a Savage issue. I am wondering if this isn't a Remington Accutip issue though? Possibly just a bad round?
Performance of the round that did fire was impressive. Non-performance of first round was sucky.
