    Why doesn't anyone talk about 270 Win?

    My Rem 700 270 WSM is not my #1 gun, but I like it a lot. I got it about six months before Berger came out with their new 270 bullets. The gun was shooting pretty good before I settled in on the 150 VLD. The accuracy was great out to 600 yards on paper. I loaned the gun to my son, when I got a...

    Leupld turrets

    In the original post you stated that you probably wouldn't shoot the gun at super long range. One thing you might consider is the B\C reticle. I have 3 VXIII's. 2 with the 30 Mil tube. On those 2, I have the M1's. On the scope with the smaller tube, I use the B\C with good success out to 500...

    help with 300 mag

    If I were you I would try both the 168 and 180 Berger VLD. My 300 Win Mag shoots the 168 the best with Ramshot Magnum. I've had great luck with Berger on game and paper. Good Luck, Tim

    RELOADING FOR A .300WinMg REM SENDERO

    MERO, I shot a 300 Win Mag. I've tried many different bullets and powders for my Rem 700 you will want to try the Berger 168 VLD. It made all the difference for long range stuff for me. I can vouch for this bullet on big game at long range. I don't know how it does up close. Good Luck

We set up a base camp at 8000 feet and we do backpack solo camps up to 10,000 feet. The list I was referring to, I thought was posted on this site but I could be wrong. We...

    I've been happy with the 168 VLD for hunting but I haven't shot anything at close range with this bullet. I'm glad to read your report. Thanks

    Leica CRF 1200 rangefinder- Whats the best price ?

    CRF Down Under, Most of the CRF's on Ebay are either a Factory Demo or reconditioned. They are calling them "Code U" and they come with a 90 day warranty. It looks like you would save a little more that a hundred bucks vs. new from one of the online stores. If you go that rout, I'd recommend...
