Thanks, I picked up some 185 classic hunters today and will give them a try.

Thanks for that tip. I actually loaded some up using CCI 250's this morning but I won't be able to test them until Tuesday or Wednesday. I'm also going to try a small ladder test using H-1000 with the CCI's and ELD-X's, same seating depth. On a side note, I discovered a potential bedding...

Sako A7/200 EDL-X/300 WM I just picked up a Sako A7 Big Game Roughtech in 300 WM and am playing with loads. I wanted to shoot a Berger 190 VLD but will not be able to get them anywhere near the lands with mag length, its a .275 jump! Needless to say, these did not shoot well. I picked...

The Zen-Ray ED3 is great glass!!! I used them for almost 2 seasons and just upgraded to a pair of Zeiss. I gave the Zen's to my wife. The Zeiss are better glass and I notice a difference optically, but the Zen's are just comfortable on my eyes where the Zeiss seem to lack a bit. I can't pinpoint...

You're from Wyoming but wanting to hunt California? That seems a bit backwards, lol. Anyway, I have been putting in for X9A for 4 years now and haven't been drawn. I have some friends that know it well, and they say to either go way high, wait for a good storm to push them down, or hunt the...

Thanks for the replies, folks! I have the Vortex Kaibabs in hand and the Zeiss Conquest in transit. I will do a side by side comparison and let you all know my findings. It sucks that the Zeiss glass wont be here before tomorrow morning, as I'm leaving for a 4 day archery hunt in western...

Browning and bigcat, thanks for sharing your experience wit the Kababs. I read the review Ilya did, several times actually... Timber, what makes you come to that conclusion, which 15x56's do you have personal experience with?

I'm in the market for a set of "big eyes" which will be used to glass open country for big game as well as used in LE surveillance work. They will be used on a tripod, not handheld, so the magnification isn't a question. I have it narrowed down to these two choices and I can get both for the...

I'm having a hard time following you... At what time (after what change) did you notice the speed loss? I imagine you know this already, but check ATA and Brace height along with keeping the cables dead center in the timing marks before you call it in spec.

57.5 yards on this boar hog last night, public land in Cali. Complete pass through, one shot kill, hog went 40 yards before expiring. 2013 Bowtech Assassin, HHA OL5519 sight, Beman 400 ICS arrows, 100 gr Rage chisle tip 2 blade. I practice on a daily basis out to 80 yards, in the wind, up hill...

Don't forget barrel twist and sight hieght.

Post your conditions and come-ups for that day and we can reverse calculate your velocity.

One last thought... It trips me out how Barnes markets their bullets as being the latest greatest for hunting. In the southern part of this dictatorship I live in lead ammo is illegal to hunt with. Two years ago a buddy and I bagged a black bear. He shot it with a .35 cal barnes and the bear...

Yeah, same here probably... I have two boxes of the Hunting VLD's, but this spring I could not find them so I stocked up on the target VLD's. I have a s$^t ton of them loaded up and figure I'll try them out on some flesh this year.

Okay, a bit of searching located this article... History Of The Match Grade Berger Hunting VLD I get it now!
