[QUOTE="TA1911A1, post: 608795, member: 37003"] Wow... Thanks for all of the replies. You guys know your stuff. Just a few thoughts after reading through this several times. [LIST] [*]From what I've read, a heavier bullet will help due to the higher bc's but, I'll have work on that when I start reloading my own. It's on my birthday list..... [*]Thanks for the heads up on the rework of my Leupold. I always get a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach just at the thought of offing the Leupy. I haven't called the factory yet, but for the inexpensive price of the turret retrofit, perhaps a reticle change can be done as well.
