Very nice photos, although the orange does seem just a tad off. It's a
difficult color, almost like Tennessee Volunteer orange. Good groups, too,
both of 'em.
Grosvenor Wotkyns had a great idea when he came up with the .22-250 wildcat
cartridge way back when -- the '30's, I think. I was tempted a couple of
times, but being the owner of both Winchester and Remington .220 Swifts, I
never got one, although I've shot some friends' on occasion.
Remember, the family that shoots together shoots together and not each other.

P.S. to grammar nuts:
Please note the plural possessive "friends'", which means something a whole lot
different from what the plain "friends" would mean in the last sentence. I've
never shot a friend. Can't say the same about some others.
