    Sheep Boots

    I used the kenetrek boots on my sheep hunt and really liked them. They need to be broke in. Kenetrek recommends 50 hours of use. The plastic boots are good but there’s no breaking them in.

    185 vs 210 vld for 300 win mag

    I think it comes down to what shoots the best out of your gun. Try the 215 first and if it shoots well stay with it. My 300 wm liked the 185's so I stuck with them. I did take a sheep and grizz with the 185 berger last Sept. Preformed great.
