Took two of my favorite hunting rifles to the range this morning. What a fine start to Independence Day! Refined the zeros, and got some practice in at 100, 200 and 300 yards.
Ruger Number One .375 H&H with a 3x Leupold, zeroed at 100 yards, with handloaded 270 grain Hornady round-nose soft point bullets. It is a pretty good thumper and I've shot three black bears with it in the past. I had no problem with it at 200 or 300 yards either.
Also hauled out the deer, antelope and coyote slaying .25-06 Remington 700 CDL. Have a new scope on it, a fixed 6x36 Leupold with LR dots. I like it! Zeroed it today at 200 yards, with the 115 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip "Blue Cyclone" ammo at 3120 fps. Tried the dots for the first time today and found them to be helpful at 300+ yards.
A mighty fine start to the day, and am back inside before the temps climb too much.
Enjoy the day!
