[QUOTE="dug, post: 3057442, member: 9523"] In my opinion your choices are solid for rifle , manageable recoil and enough power for bullet expansion at your planned range. Some people here will say no to 6.5 dia bullet on bigger game , ive had nothing but good performance from it . The scope magnification range is good and swaro glass is great , In my experience the turrets dont hold up well. You explained the work behind getting the rifle tuned up with ammo and settled in with complete break in for speed. That will make your dope sheet reliable . A rangefinder with a ballistic solver will speed up the time it takes for a turret adjustment , rather than running a yrdage no. To a dope sheet ,then dialing . I have a ton of confidence in berger bullets to take game with , I have not used the 156 for hunting , 140 elites and 140 vld’s have served me well. I have used eldm’s for practice to save a lil money and they are both accurate and deadly. They also perform well on game. Berger is my first choice for africa. Hammer mono’s are the most accurate mono i have tried , BC with mono’s suffer. Faster muzzle speeds helps time of flight with wind dopes . I’m a cup and core for hunting all the way , to much success on quick kills and no tracking required. I have only one rifle tuned for hammer bullets and will use it when hunting where the laws dictate it. Buy as much ammo as it takes to become proficient and confident with it , hit the hills and enjoy the rewards of the shot and the hunt. Life is short , use every minute of it [/QUOTE]
