I am building a 20 P with 22" pipe on my CZ 527 action. It needs a scope.
I have narrowed it down to:
1. Vortex Viper PST Gen II 5-25x
2. Athlon Ares BTR Gen II 4.5-27x
Please give me your opinion. I want to purchase soon.
Cheers.
As good as Lapua and Petersen brass are, I do the same. For hunting rounds I use the Wilson seater with a press. I want to feel the bullet being seated.
I only have the Norma brass for the 300 WSM as well as a few Win factory round's brass and a new box of Nosler brass.
For this Nov elk hunt...
My Win were left from shooting their factory 150 sp at 3240 fps - no swipe.
Can not find any other 300 WSM except for a box of 25 count nosler a couple months back.
By no published data was I near max load or speed with the load I was using 65.5 StaBall.
DRT at 201 yards, 6 mm Creed - 108 Berger EH, 2990 fps @ muzzle.
Quartering away. Bullet entered from the back of the left shoulder, broke three ribs, exited bottom of the neck. Nothing but red goop where lungs used to be.
