    Magnification vs Max range

    Until I was in my mid 40s 1x per 100 yards was plenty for big game. I used a 2-7 variable for p dogs. Now days I’m struggling a bit without a bit more Xs on the scope. 600 yards I’d like 10x to 12x

    Scope for my 300 win mag

    1000 yard F class is the only thing for which I use a 1/8 moa click scope. Anything that might hunt has a 1/4 moa or .1 mil. One thing that has been missed in this thread is that a 1/8 moa or .05 mil scope typically has half the elevation per turn of the turret. That is definitely not something...

    45/70 Bullet

    300 grain hollow point from Hornady or Sierra are good options. If you want a better chance of an exit wound , the Hornady 350 flat point is a great option.

    284 WIN Reamer

    go .319 or .320 neck and .220 freebore. That is a pretty common setup for 180 Berger hybrids in F class. I built a hunting rifle with my F Open reamer and it also works with 160 class hunting bullets.

    1000 yard elk with a 6.5?

    I took a cow this fall with a 156 berger at 792 yards. Muzzle velocity 3040 FPS. She dropped at the shot then tried to get up and rolled 20 yards into a small draw. Exit was 1.5”. Didn’t get inside for an autopsy though. Used the same bullet/load at 311 yards and 70 yards those dropped in...

    March 8-80 scopes?

    I used one for a few LR F class matches. The higher power was nice when conditions allowed, which weren’t that often. Image quality was excellent as I remember.

    Why you need to Understand Vista Outdoors and What They Own

    So we went from 3 corporations controlling manufacture of primers to 2. I’d be less concerned with the appearance of a monopoly and more concerned with who/what influences the two remaining corporations. Also who really thinks that Vista’s acquisition of Remington ammunition has had that much...

    Comparing the Berger 210 VLD to the 215 Hybrid

    Your barrel length isn’t your problem. You tried 4 different primers and 3 different types of brass, yet only a narrow window of seating depth. Try going shorter.
