The older I get, the more I just need better glass. I'm hoping the S&Bs get me through till I die, cause I can't afford much higher end glass than that haha.
Considerable amount, especially with the superior parallax adjustment on the S&B. Nightforce and Leupold are definitely a step below S&Bs glass. Comparable glass to S&B would be like Tangent, ZCO, Hensoldt, Swaro, and Kahles.
Just got her zeroed at 300 yards. Took 1 shot at 100 yards, adjusted the scope to bullet hole, then went another 3" high so it'd get me close to my 300y zero. Took the next 4 shots at 300 yards and got a 1/2 MOA group 3/4" above center. Came down 1 click and set my zero. Total of 5 shots fired...
It's just in the way of the parallax adjustment. I can still see it just behind since it sticks out to the left side, and I shoot with both eyes open, so that's just what I had to go with. Not a whole lot of mounting room on the tubes of these S&Bs with the illuminated deal on the front, and the...
Got a Nightforce ACI indicator for sale. Great shape. $162 shipped USPS small flat rate with tracking. PayPal preferred, usps mo, or personal check. Thanks for looking.
Picked up a S&B PMII 5-25x P4F for the 7-300. Taking the old NXS 5.5-22x off today and mounting her up in some Warne mountain tech rings. Have a cow hunt coming up the next couple weeks and need to get it zeroed and ready to go! 180g ELDMs at 3K will be doing the work.
Got a case of BR2s for $250 and case of BR4s for $250, for a total of $500 shipped to my door. Free shipping and free hazmat. I thought that was a pretty good deal...
I've got (550) 75g ELDMs that are Midway 2nds. I'd like $125 shipped to your door via USPS small flat rate box with tracking. PayPal preferred, or check/USPS MO. Thanks
Here's a clear example of the expansion characteristics I'm talking about of the AB vs ABLRs.
7 Mag, 160g AB and 168g ABLR into jugs at 25 yards. Both went to the 5th jug.
160g AB, 89g retained weight for 55% retention, and expanded to .57" at its widest point.
168g ABLR, 87g retained weight...
Where can one find just the bullets to reload, that haven't been pulled? I'm not seeing them anywhere online. The only place I see them for sale is DRT and they're pulled. Not interested in pulled bullets.
Exactly my point! We are not the only ones! It's an anomaly when they actually do shoot from a rifle...For every 1 rifle that shoots them, there's at least 10 or 20 that don't. I don't see how that's productive for anyone.
Looks like I'll just be sticking with the Hornady 180g ELDMs until...
