[QUOTE="AKBman, post: 985409, member: 898"] I am going to try an acquire a Leica 1600 at Christmas time if at all possible, I bought this Nikon 550 before I really knew much about range finders. The load I am shooting now is 4 grains under max for a 210gr VLD, I am pretty comfortable where it is at, as I know that each bullets is a law unto itself when it comes to loading. I am waiting to hear back from Accurate on suggested minimum and maximum loads for MagPro and the 208 A Max. My Ruger only has a 24" tube, but it has always been a sub MOA shooter with 180 and 200 grain bullets, I spent a lot of time and patience working the trigger to an acceptable hunting level, and it breaks much cleaner now. I have in the neighborhood of 400 rounds down the tube with this one. I figure practice is really the only thing that will improve my scope handling abilities, it is low powered by long distance standards, a VX III 2.5-8X36 I bought when I purchased the rifle in Alaska, wanted the low end for grizzly, which it worked well on. Thanks again for the input and the encouragement, I learn a lot just from reading here. Dave [/QUOTE]
