And if the included tips don't fit you well, these ones work great. I use the small ones, personally. They are a memory foam so I can squish them down long enough to get them into my ears. https://www.complyfoam.com/products/professional-p-series?variant=41306570031291

Great deal on some electronic earbuds if you're interested. I've tried several and these are the ones I like best. They are Bluetooth and connect to your phone, great for shooting, mowing the lawn, etc. 4th of July sale at Optics Planet for $91+tax, free shipping. The "OPMOD" is just a special...

Good to hear the on-game reports on the SST. Should be a winner.

Based on the results I saw today, I am going to make the 129gr Hornady SST my primary load for this fall. The accuracy with that bullet in my rifle is exceptional, and I saw nothing in the test today to indicate that it would not perform at least as adequately as a similar cup-and-core bullet...

The recovered pieces of jacket and core weighed 83.0gr: The largest piece of core measured .521": The jacket measured .562" at its widest:

This bullet was a bit frustrating for me. Thru several different load workups with a couple different powders, about 1" or maybe a little less was the best I was able to get it to shoot in my rifle. Certainly good enough for deer hunting at reasonable ranges. I just wanted it to do better...

This bullet was the second-best in accuracy from my rifle. That kind of surprised me, I was expecting it to be the most accurate of the bunch. But testing with two different powders (H4350 and Big Game) both got me to the same place, about .75" groups. Certainly more than good enough for...

Of the 3 bullets tested, this bullet is hands down the one my rifle prefers for accuracy. In my load development, it produced several groups under .5", including two at around .3". So from an accuracy standpoint, this load was the favorite going into the test, but I wanted to get an idea how...

As I have mentioned in earlier posts, I have been doing some load development lately with 130gr bullets in my Franchi Momentum 6.5 CM, which I intend to use for deer this fall. After a bit of work, I ended up with the following: First row: 129gr Hornady SST, 38.5gr Varget, 2791 fps Second...

I just finished doing a bullet test today with the 129gr Hornady SST, 130gr Sierra TGK, and 130gr Sierra GKHP. Going to write it up in a series of posts, lots of pictures to include. Stay tuned.

Outstanding, Brad!!!

The main complaint I've seen people make is that it sometimes can't filter out interference from other nearby units.

FWIW, I moved from Nikon to Burris when Nikon closed their scope line. Still have a couple of them, but the Burris Fullfield and Droptine scopes have been a suitable replacement. They tend to have a little less eye relief than the Nikon's, tho.

Thanks for the info. Are you shooting iron sights?

Sounds like a good plan, Brad!! We gotta shoot sometime, my friend.
