    hi and thanks for the answers so far, the gun is a break action TC prohunter, with Bullberry barrel. the 225 grain TSX can actually sit at half of the neck case itself, is when it touches, I tried it with the same 250 grain speer and same issue, it shoots fine jumping or seated at books specs...

    Overall length issues

    Hi guys/gals, I received my new 35 Whelen barrel not long ago, the gun shoots great, I have been using Buffalo bore 225 TSX- average muzzle velocity is 2730, I broke out my reloading stuff after years of sitting and found my overall length is way over maximum by the books, wondering if that is...

    So what wrong with a .243 on Elk?

    Zeiss vs Swarovski

    Update on the Zeiss 2x10x42, I returned to the store because of the "lighter" etching on the 5 and 6 of the rapid Z- however the other one they had available was the exact same, so I guess that's how it is on that model, the 3x15's Rapid Z was much bolder all the way down the scale.

    Zeiss vs Swarovski

    Thanks for all the suggestions, I went with the Swarovski 4x12x50 for the 35, and picked up the Zeiss HD5 2x10 rapid Z600 for another gun, the store was really busy and I felt rushed, my reticle in the Zeiss kinda fades though, like bold 4, but 5 and 6 are progressively etched lighter, it that...

    Zeiss vs Swarovski
