[QUOTE="ballistx, post: 500996, member: 32156"] I have worked up reloads for all three using the Sierra boat tail bullets and that is what I will be using. The 25-06 is a little more accurate than the 270 (.75 vs 1 at 100 yds). The 6x24 scope has the range with some to spare. I haven't tried the other 2 that are in the 4x16 and 6x18 but would guess they do. We will be moving back from 600, 800, 900 & 1000 so there will be a chance to verify and compensate for the tracking errors. Don't get disqualified for short shots until the qualifying 10 rounds. The scopes don't have mil-dots. I am leaning towards the 25-06 as it is lighter recoil and I know that it is good with the rounds I have worked up. Will just need to make up my mind and switch the scopes if that is what I decide. I won't be using the partitions for this, just for hunting when the time comes. And that I have decided will definately be the 270. I have rung it out on my ballistics program. If the muzzle velocity is correct, I have 100% confidence in the trajectory being accurate. That program was rung out by the 50 caliber shooters association back in the 80's out to 1500 yards and at all elevations. They said it was the only one that confirmed their actual findings relative to elevation. And we are at about 5,500 ft elevation at the gun club. I am currently in Albuquerque and will be shooting about 20 miles NW of Albuquerque and hunting Oryx on the Stallion Range the end of September. I don't have the time to set up the chronograph and develop loads before the qualifications, so will go with the ones I have and have range trajectories for already. I always have them taped to the side of the rifle ahead of the trigger for instant confirmation when hunting. I will have to decide this evening on the scope situation as tomorrow is the only time I can actually get out to the range and run them out to 300 yards to make sure they are on there. Just need to determine now if it will be the 270 or 25-06 as primary and will take the other, with the required 100 rounds, along JIC. Always like to have a backup. Thanks again for all of the input.
