[QUOTE="alcesgigas, post: 566966, member: 34925"] I surely appreciate all this information! That being sincerely said I should say that I've read nothing but good stuff about the newer LRS-1 Millets; I've read nothing but [I]great [/I]stuff about NF and USO, but before I plunge for that expense I'd like to get some time/experience under my belt with my first long range dedicated rifle. Here's how it's shaping up right now: Winchester M70 (375H&H donor) Classic Stainless, squared & lapped, Hart 30" (1.250-1.000") with a Muscle Magnum 4 brake in 338 Edge. I'm still fluid on the rest, but leaning to running 300SMKs around 2830fps--I'll be getting my dies from DE right off... However, I'm too fast approaching septuagenarian status and I will need to get a good range finder, PDA, Kestrel, a whole new selection of propellants as I've loaded only for 270 and 375 H&H for many years. I'm in great health and am [I]forced[/I] [I]to hunt for meat[/I] (God, what a dreadful thing) and moose being my mainstay I must drop them where I can get my--now necessary--equipment to extricate all that poundage. Jeez its taken soooooo long to get the wife sympathizing with me on this horrendously laborious undertaking--she actually comes along to help. Good thing she doesn't read this site; if all goes right in ten years or so all I'll have to do is pull the trigger... She [I]is[/I] 15 years younger than me! Amazing what moose and caribou do for you... So I really cannot indulge my predilections overly much--and live. But if all this goes as I think it will I've already begun dreaming about a 375CT or AM whizzing those 350SMKs from its 34" barrel--launched from it's 30# heft, NF 5.5-22x56 zero-stop mil-radian perched up top in Murphy SS rings & base. If I got it all right off what's left to dream about? But please keep these responses up because every day I find how little I really know. It's great.:D [/QUOTE]
