Boy that has to be a good option for a do all scope. Probably kinda spendy....but if it can actually do all that its supposed to... There used to be a 2.5-8 VX3i (I think) that I always thought would fill that bill too. Ive thought about the Burris' too...CL
Wow! What a handsome buck! Congrats to your daughter! That is a worthy shot off sticks for anyone. Speaks to some good coaching and some diligent effort on her part. What nice photos! How you gonna top that?!?? 🤔 :). Have fun trying! CL
Thanks for the extra leg work Shade. That all sorta makes sense. However it does sorta confirm the perception I am working on that this is not the "exact science" some would have us believe. For example, just the variables between H and IMR leave us with some variables that the average...
Hey Shade- I've been going back through some stuff and looking at my loads. How'd you manage to get 39.5 Gr of 4350 in that load let alone 40? Speers current Data on line shows 37.5 Grains as a compressed max load for that bullet. I get over pressure signs at 38 Grains some times with a 100...
Thanks Gentlemen- yup I think I'll back it off a ways and hope the accuracy stays there. I have had so much trouble with the "long headspace"in my Mauser. It has worked, but I think Ive got to back off a little to save on my brass. Antelope and Coyotes wont know the difference. Thanks again. CL
Hey all- Have used this load for a long time. It is based on Dads old speer manual, (1964). Cant find any Nosler Data for this, closest is a 100 gr Speer. For taht Bullet I would be two full grains over Max. Here's the load:
RP Case - 250-3000 Savage
Primer - CCI 200
Bullet- 100 Gr BT...
D@ng! Slobbering on my key board! THAT looks like a FUN rifle! And you are getting them to shoot. Oficially jealous of that! Will be reviewing and watching you load developments. Enjoy! CL
Those are some handsome rifles! Always liked the old Rugers in "Gunmetal Gray". Scope looks good too. Would like to see a pic of the 250. Cant remember for sure what the 88's looked like. Glad you had a good range day! Thats always fun, CL
Hey Vince- its always good to be headed where your heart wants to go. Me, I kinda prefer the country where all the sky scrapers are Grain Elevators, but thats just me. Been living in self imposed excile, here in the big city of MN for too many years. Hope its all you want it to be! Photos...
Beautiful rifle, and those numbers w/ Ram Shot big game and a 100 gr BT are certainly interesting! Other numbers quoted are great as well. Such a nice cartridge. Please post your results! CL
