    Found my limit

    ...I'd bet it's a 'hot glue' & a hot air paint stripper would loosen it up in a few minutes w/ no damage to the rifle...

    Burris custom Turret

    ...a lot of little things go into your "Altitude Density", cold air is denser, higher el. is less dense, etc. The larger change in el. is probably going to be the biggest factor, & still not much of a change out to 500yds. Go high el., true your data for the extra drop @ your home el.

    Found my limit

    ...I'd go for a high sitting off the bag w/ a good cheek weld, free recoil, maybe even a sissy bag till you've got the rifle figured out. Nobody's watching, skip the 'macho' save the shoulder for more important stuff...

    Recentering Reticle

    ...a piece of glass on a couple pieces of lathe, on a mirror. Look down thru the scope & match your reticle to the mirror image. Your scope is now "optically centered". You can check your "mechanical center" by running/ counting up/down// left/right, but by starting w/ your scope "optically...

    First Elk

    ...generally speaking, by the time I'm convinced that I'd hunt w/ someone, I usually pretty sure I can trust him w/ a 'loaner'. By a quirk of fate 'everyone' ended up shooting their elk w/ mt Tikka .300 WSM last year. Guns tend to be very personal items ("my wife, sure, my toothbrush, maybe, my...

    .300WN w/ 200 partion vs. .338WM w/ 225 partion

    ...a little more energy, weight, frontal area, vs. a little more velocity, sectional density, penetration, I still think it's still a wash, ballistically, & comes back to which rifle you're more comfortable, confident w/...

    260 Rem vs 6.5 Creedmoor

    ...well, I'll go along w/ most of this, especially the "better case design". The sharper shoulder & longer neck of the Creedmoor should give you longer case & throat life, & while the actual volume of the Creedmoor is a little less, useable volume after seating the bullet is about the same as...

    .300WN w/ 200 partion vs. .338WM w/ 225 partion

    243 Loads

    ...Nosler #3 shows IMR-4831 (max. 44.0gr/ 3030fps) & IMR-7828 (max.47.5grs. @3250fps) for the 100gr. Solid Base. Since the 'older' data tends to be a little 'hotter', I'd reduce 10% & work up. I always assumed the '4350's' were the powder for a .243 size case, but most data shows slower powders...
