[QUOTE="Ddwarren, post: 175990, member: 9617"] I am just getting into long range shooting and am putting my setup together. I wanted some thoughts from more experienced long range shooters regarding my equipment and loads. I am shooting a Rem 700 PSS in 300 RUM. I have worked on it and got the stock trigger set to approximately 22ounces where I feel it is the right pull for me and still safe. I sold my Zeiss conquest and am looking at ordering a Nightforce 5.5X22X56 with the Mil Dot Reticle (any thoughts on this or suggestions). I have been shooting factory 180gr Remington Scirroco bullets but I loaded some Berger 210gr 63BC bullets with 215M primers and 92,95, and 97 gr Retumbo to see which shoots best (a load suggested on this forum). I havent shot it yet (no optics). Most of my shots are in low light in Colorado 10K feet +/- and very cold/moist conditions. I have taken elk and deer from 60yds to 705yds, but have seen them further and am not comfortable with my setup beyond that yet. Also, I am going to be buying a range finder and need some advice along with ballistic software that will load onto a pda. Thanks in advance for the advice. [/QUOTE]
