Its my understanding that the Berger Bullets are designed to shed 40-80 % of their weight, after they penetrate about 2-3 inches. In the process, they are designed to transfer most of the energy into the animal tissues in the form of shrapnel and cause a huge wound cavity. This is according to...

I was looking at Vortex PST416S1A. It shows available with at least 2 vendors at SWFA & Optics Planet as of 10/13/2010.

So, based on your information, it is reasonable to assume that the stock of scopes available now from SWFA or other vendors, are with the old non-improved turrets ??? If so, it will probably be a while before they spend that stock and refill it with the new improved turret scopes, which will be...

Hey, I was just in your shoes. I had Zeiss Victory PRF mono rangefinder for 6 month. Great rangefinder. But I wanted a binoculars, cause looking thru with one eye gets my right eye tired quick. I had Leica Geovid lst year as well. Great products with insane price. Never had Zeiss PRF Binos and...

I wonder how does it compare to Leica or Zeiss. Bushnell looks like it was modeled after Leica, but I wonder how tight is the laser patern.

Can you tell me what is the frame made from on these binoculars ? Aluminum ??? It looks like plastic on the picture.

Hey, I'm in the same boat as you. I got the Zeiss 8x26 PRF Monoculars and I love it. I hate to combine it with another pair of binos and carry both in the field. Always wanted Victory RF binos or Leica Geovid binos. Too much money. Just saw one positive review today on Bushnell 1600 ARC...

Hey guys, I've just tested a 300 Win Mag 150gr with GMX bullet hornady superformance ammo out of my Remi Sendero. It ROCKS !!! At least out of my gun. I set up a chorny and had 3 readings of 2498, 2486, and 3502. Not bad, especially when they advertise it at 2400 fps. Must be my 26 inch...

Accuracy was ok so far. Fired maybe 10 shots at 50 just to get it on paper and then another 3 at 100 yards into a 2 inch spread. But this is just first set up. I've just started setting it up with the new scope and had to stop because I'm not happy with the bases I got. Will be changing bases...

Well, I waited for this gun for over 2 years and I finally got one and shot one last week. Its everything I expected to be. Safety latch is not as solid as I would like it to be but it works. I could never make up my mind between Remi Model 700 and Win Model 70, so now I got both in my...

Based on their webside info, it looks like they have developed a more efficient powder that burns out completely. Therefore, maintaining standard pressures while gaining velocity. Of course they don't give you the powder details, but it looks promissing. I can't wait to try some of that ammo in...

Well, i understand that reference point is different for each type of ammo. Its just 6 different factory loads I've tried all grouped close together at 200 yards. Some 150gr and some 180gr. And this 200gr accubond by dobule tap, which has a ballisic coefficient of about 0.588, went 8 inches...

I've had a funny experience with this DT Ammo that is so highly advertized. I was shooting 300 win mag with millet mil-dot scope at 1/4" per click @ 100. Normally, I have it zeroed for 150gr SST Hornady ammo at 200 yards. Yesterday, I've tried several brands with bullets from 150-180. They all...

Does anyone know of any vendors who sell loaded ammo with 220gr bullet for 300 win mag ? The only one i found was Conley Precision Cartridges that loads nosler partition 220gr bullet, but the bullet has a very low ballistic coefficient of about 0.350. Its more of a round nose type. I dont...

Yes, sorry I forgot to say that. Majority is satisfied and only a few are not. Just like you said. But that few mentions bullet expansion problem specifically. Anyway, I'm staying with that ammo.
