[QUOTE="Jim Maloney, post: 36196, member: 1683"] Budlight, I appreciate your insight. I tend to like the lower powered scopes for my off hand shooting, I get much over about 6x and those crosshair just start dance'n all over the place, which doesn't do much for my confidence. Especially when you have and angry 2000lb buff staring you down and your quiver'n like a dog ****'n peach seeds. [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] I have several scopes that just may fit the ticket. I'll do a little experimenting and see what works best for me. Here's a little info on the .400 Tembo. It is brain child of several of the industries top people. At the SCI show in 2000 Edd Woslum of Evolution USA, Randy Brooks of Barnes Bullets, Dr. Keven Robertson, author of The Perfect Shot, wildlife veterinarian, and professional hunter, and John Krieger of Krieger barrels, got together and set out to develop a cartridge that is big enough to use on the largest of dangerous game but will still maintain a suitable trajectory for taking plains game out to 250+. They set a few goals that it must meet: Muzzle Energy: 4000lbs. + Sectional Density: .310+ Momentum Value: 115 Pounds/FPS Recoil: 50 foot pounds or less Trajectory: 2" high at 100 no more than 4" low at 200. Knock Out Value:45+ They decided on a 404 Jeffery case neck down to a true .40 cal, and the .400 Tembo is born. .400 Tembo 350gr. Barnes X Dia.-.400 Vel.-2300 ME.-4111 MV.-115 SD.-.312 Rec.-45 Drop. 2.5" KO.- 46 Hawk bullets is also makes a couple bullets for it 375gr. and a 250gr. With the initial tests the Tembo was shooting .75" to .5" groups, not bad for an elephant gun. Jim [ 10-04-2004: Message edited by: Q-Optics ] [/QUOTE]
