    Interesting choice for a deer rifle

    Someone said it already, but no one really followed up on it, get the crown checked or redone. Muzzle down in trucks has been known to cause issues. Also not many think to check it before they start chasing accuracy issues.

Due to shoulder problems I have switched to 125 grain reduced recoil Remington corloct and am very happy with loads performance...

    Why so many DRT online?

    Well 'DRT' does seem to be hard to replicate on a steady basis, I do not see as hard to do as some people do.

    Non lethal ways of defending against dogs

    Spray bottle, the kind you can adjust to stream, half water half amoniia. Works real good, I use it when bike riding. Doesn't do any damage but learns them quick. I usually let them get close then right to the face.:)
