[QUOTE="imasam, post: 501342, member: 20611"] Thank you Buffalo Bob,,, i needed to smile.. I bought new Lapua brass, and i will most likely be shooting the Berger VLDs. I have been using the Berger ballistic calculator.. I do go to the range and shoot 400 & 500 yds at metal targets. I haven't had any problems hitting them, consistently. I just bought a new .308 waiting my 10 days. I did shoot the metal with my 22-250. The calculator seemed to be on target.. I have a Leupold 4.5 x14 - 40mm Long Range Varmit graticle scope on a savage rifle, bull barre, Bell and Carlson Medalist stock. The specifics on the scope gave the drop for each graduation at two known magnification settings. One for light bullets and one for heavier bullets. I slowed the bullets up or down to match the graduation marks. Zeroed at 200 yds. The scope is quick and dirty for shooting up to 500 yds. It has 10 and 20 mph wind corrections .I haven't proved them out yet.. But i 'm sure they will be good. I have the Leupold range finder to go along with the scope. I am trying to decide which scope i will buy for the .308. It is also a Savage WW.. I wanted to buy American..No competition barrels yet. I'm using a combination of Redding and Hornady dies. The varmit reticle is quick for typical hunting distances.. I am finding it hard to go to the dial settable reticle. What is your opinion if you have both.. I may need to buy a target scope just to try the style out. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
