March 2020 I got a Leupold HD6 3-18x50 from Bud's Gun Shop for $1200.00. It is a fabulous scope. Anybody seen good sales lately?

My mistake, the initial jump of 0.080 was decreased to 0.020.

In Spring I loaded my .223 with Barnes 62gr TSX over 26.9 gr CFE223 and seated to 80mics off of the lands using an RCBS Precision Mic, accuracy was poor with 2-3 inch groups at 100yards. I changed the seating to 20mics off of the lands which is were I seat most other bullets for my Browning...

Look on Barnes web site, their load data has a Varget recipe for their 120gr.

Some hunters answer this dilemma with the Nosler Partition,guaranteed to expand but still hold together at about 60%. I tried them 30 years ago in a Sako 7mm-08 but could not get acceptable accuracy. Otherwise it's maybe carry Accubonds for under 100 yards and Ballistic Tips for over 100 yards...

Recently I changed barrel cleaning products and procedures. I had been using Hoppes #9 then JB Bore Paste on a patch wrapped around a bronze brush, a rather messy procedure, followed by an oiled then dry patch. I switched to SharpShoot-R's Wipe Out and Wipe Out Accelerator. It does seem to clean...

Sounds familiar, last fall I shot my first Moose, a 2-year-old Bull about 600lbs. A 278 yard shot with my 300wsm hand-loaded 180gr Accubond over 64gr of W760. He was facing me quartered slightly to his right,first shot entered low in the chest just left of his left leg, he stood and turned with...

So I have a choice of 223Rem loaded with Barnes 62gr TSX or 60gr Nosler Partition over 27gr CFE223 at ~3150fps for close range(~25yd)White Tail Doe culling. What's your preference?

49gr of RL19

2950fps and under a 100 yards is what I'm doing.

I don't know if it matters but they were Federal bulk packs of 100 and they all needed full-length sizing and trimming before I used them, I think they were factory seconds.

Loading 180gr at about 3000fps.

No

Impressive! I'm not even close to that class.
