[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1492898, member: 75451"] Having access to a 300 yard range in the backyard, is a huge plus. We develop a potential load at 100....then prove or disprove at 300 yards. As these are hunting rifles, and 600 to 800 yards is our absolute maximum range we would consider shooting game....a 10x is adequate, but maybe a little low on power at the longer distances. If tiny groups or longer distances on game is on the menu.....then greater than 10x would be very desirable! As we hunt in various conditions (timber to open country), we need to keep our low-end power, fairly low. We’re using 3.5-10 Leupolds on our hunting rifles. On our longer range “plinker”.....we’re running a 5-25! With our 10x’s, on our “sporter weight” rifles....we can go .75 to 1.0 moa, fairly regularly. This is from a bench, with 9.0 pound, unbraked, fairly high recoil rifles (338. WM and a .375AI). memtb [/QUOTE]
