[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 2853765, member: 10429"] That’s good to know about RL26. Since I backed off to 45 grains my last time out I hit the same velocitys twice now for 2 sets of 5 shots. So load wise I think I’m seeing some good consistent numbers but like I posted before I need to shoot once more for groups and distances and see if they are holding groups at distance. One of the large draws I want to hunt has a good creek in the bottom but is completely bare or open grass 3/4 or 1/2 the way up on both sides. Most of the cover is on the north east facing side putting me on the south west facing side watching for deer to come out in the late day. There is some cover on the south west facing side but it’s not a lot. Enough to hide in and take shots with probably a long shot all the way out to 8 or 9 hundred yards. But something like that I would pick up and try and get closer moving up and down the ridge using the cover as much as I can or back down the other side and move up or down and then peek back over. The sun kind of sucks as well but it’s just where I suspect to see deer coming from feeding out. Tall Timbers and thicker aspens down toward the edge of them. Another spot or another large draw has a knob that let’s me be above all the cover and shoot over it to the clearing all the way down at another creek. Still long pokes but doable. If I had some more of the 140 mission ready loads by Berger I might just use that stuff. I had fun with the rifle last summer banging steel out to 1000y with that stuff.
