Love mine, no issues. Shot two whitetail with it this fall. Both ran a little ways but were dead on their feet. I'm shooting berger 140 vld's. Farthest shot to date is a rock at 1222.

Gunsmith- I did all my load work up with a new Redfield Revenge in 4-12. Then when I could afford the Vortex I put the Redfield on my .270 So far I like it, I haven't shot it a whole lot but it seems to be repeatable. Took it on an elk hunting trip in October. Didn't get a shot at an elk...

Huh, I'd never heard that before. Midway USA shows them in their selection, but it says they're backorderable, won't be back in till the end of Feb. Barnes Banded Solid Bullets 25 Cal (257 Diameter) 90 Grain Spitzer

Barnes makes a banded solid, this would be pelt friendly I would think.

No, I work for Keep Construction.

Yeah of course I'm from Backus. My boss actually lives on Deep Portage. Kind of a small world sometimes. Justin

dbrow where are you from in MN? I live about an hour North of Brainerd. There aren't many people from MN shooting long range. Mostly because it's hard to find safe areas to do it, and also because as you said the majority of hunting shots are under 200 yds. I'm giving two thumbs up for...

Lol great story. I always cock off to people about being a better shot than them, because I believe myself to be fairly proficient with anything that goes boom or stick and string. I would never bet 1000 bucks against somebody I'd never seen shoot before, Hell even poor shots get lucky. You...

I have a savage LRH in 6.5-284 and I'm shooting 52.5 gr of 4831sc getting 2850 MV. This seems to be max for this rifle. Hope this helps you out. Justin

I'm shooting 140 Berger VLD's Justin

Hey thanks for the info. We are taking horses but will probably mostly use them for packing(if they don't freak out). Like I said my girlfriend's friends invited us on this trip and I've no idea what they are like to hunt with, I've only met them a couple of times. No matter what happens I'm...

Just thought I'd let everyone know I bought a case comparator and measured some of the brass. New Laupa brass measures about .009'' smaller then fired brass. Take it however you like, but I think that a case that has to stretch that much will show some signs of pressure. I have not got a...

Going to Colorado in Oct. for second gun season gmu77. Girlfriend and I got invited by her friends as they have been out there once. Wondering if anybody had any info on that area, or has hunted it before could give me some tips. Thanks Justin

I believe when you resized the shoulder didn't get bumped back far enough. I would try resizing a couple more pieces of brass and trying them in gun before you take it to anybody. You have to turn your die in the press a little farther to bump the shoulder back more. Maybe somebody else will...

I was able to stretch the rifle out today for the first time. I wanted to shoot some groups at the farthest distance in Dad's hay field (485yds corner to corner). Mirage was so bad that I gave up on that idea. I got sighted in at 200 and then backed it up. Entered the data in my smart...
