Guys im chasing some pics of game shot with my bullets for my new website. Im chasing bear, deer species etc etc
so if your going hunting in the coming weeks, ill give away a box each to 5 people, you will be able to get them through grafs(as they stock them).......ill organise that, and all i ask is some pics of the game taken with the acp sidewinder. first 5 blokes here to respond get a box in there chosen cal. and then you end up with ya pic on the site!!!!
If their still available I'll take a box. Plenty to kill in the upcoming months.

If any of you want load data please pm me the following measurements
calibre.
which acp projectile
oal you will load to....to tip....not ogive
trim length of case
barrel length from boltface with bolt shut to muzzle
case capacity........get fired unsized case, weigh it then weigh again, and subtract the 2 to give me the dih20 case capacity......fill right to top of case
powder you want to use
temp you will test at....ie if your going to range monday morn....that temp as close as you can.
Tim I haven't received mine yet, was going to start with 6.5 Swede. Figured I'd start with a known load at the weight I receive and go from there. Let us know how yours go....

I used Barnes data for a comparable weight bullet. Started atlow end and got good groups. Looking for a decent buck here in Idaho. Still have 20 days to go. Will keep you posted.

I did get a message from sidewinder, he was off hunting (lucky guy) but if I don't see anything from him before I'm ready to load I'll just go with a mild barnes load and see what happens.
just hoping the weather turns so I can get a load worked up and find a doe before I run out of time/season before headed to my parent to hunt deer/bear

got a decent group 2 touching 1 high (not sure which shot was which, but I did feel that I rushed one) but good enough results for the distances i'll encounter.
rain and wind are to let up tonight so going to try for a doe first thing in the morning before I get back to my honey-do-list so I can get out of the house and go hunting for a week and a half in PA
