[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 3045533, member: 8394"] Kinda think I understand both propositions posted. I've found scopes to be relatively easy to figure on some level. Each premium layer is more exponentially more expensive for less and less gain per dollar. Each person picks what company ethos they like and hopefully buy witin the tier they feel is right for them. At the upper end there will always be hyper specialization and trade off that each company will eventually be known for. We'd all like kahles glass with atacr toughness with vortex warrant with March's specs and Athlons price... but alas it's not so. On the bullet situation.... nowadays the packaging recommends twist so that helps. In most calibers there are factory cartridges in several grain increments correlating to very minor fps gains. Beauty is you get to pick what you want and go for it. Obviously mixing extremes has its downsides but some still make it work, 300 blk out 125s don't perform great in a 300 rum and bullets that hold together in a 300 rum might not be best suited for 300 blk out. Keep in mind some of us have built reamers and barrels setup for certain projectiles and still had hit or miss success. Some times the formula just works, other times it's off.. [/QUOTE]
