[QUOTE="philny1, post: 147042, member: 7121"] Mounted a Zeiss Conquest 4.5-14x44mm using dual dovetail Leu mounts and Burris Sig rings. Was able to put the scope on at 25yds using their offset inserts, on with no scope adj. Three rounds total and I'm 2.5" high at 100 yds, figured this would put me close at 300 yds where the rest of my shooting was done. This was with the 169.5 gr wildcat in front of 92,5 gr 869--this is Texas Tims load. This proved to be hot for NY conditions (Temp 40*--altitude 2500 ft) with very heavy bolt lift. I should add that I'm recovering from shoulder surgery, need to be careful. Tried holding the butt with my left hand, worked but very awkward. Also have a lead sled, again found it awkward. Anyways, accuracy wise I could do MOA without a problem and for now let it go at that. Shot the 195 gr Wildcats starting with Tims load of 94grs--WC872 - 3044 fps. Worked in 1 gr increments to 98 gr - 3250 fps where I experienced heavy bolt lift. Back off to 96.5 gr, COL--3.634 where the velocity averaged 3194 fps w/23 ft spread. Overcast, calm, temp 40*--perfect day. This is the bullet I plan on using for working up an elk load. The 195s, accuracy wise are bout the same. Not comfortable shooting off the lead sled. Jewell trigger is awesome, my first one. Shawn Carlocks brake makes it a fun gun to shoot. Wc-872, lot#-49452. [/QUOTE]
