    Best targets for open sights?

    The main problem, other than normal aging eyes, is finding a target that works for me at 100 yards. Truth is I have good days with the eyes and bad days. I have shot sub MOA groups at 100 yards with some of these and have repeated the results at 50 yards to ensure it is not a fluke. Now, 50...

    Best targets for open sights?

    That is absolutely correct. Both the sight picture and shooting- before everything gets blurry and the getting old part.

    Bergers for Hunting or Not?

    I do NOT like them. They definitely have a fanbase and that is ok with me. I have used them and they were....OK. I have seen inconsistencies as noted by Ernie. Never liked the whole "1-3 inches of penetration and them grenade" philosophy. I like my bullets to stay together and I prefer...

    Best targets for open sights?

    I have a few levers that can not accommodate scopes. Open sights are the only option on these rifles. Mainly they are: Sharps 45-70..not worried about this one too much...vernier rear/bunch of front sight inserts Win 1886 45-90 Browning 348 Win Win 1873 44-40 Win 1895 405 Win. All of these...

    .35 Whelen acquired, now optimizing.

    I played with many of them. My most direct route to success was CFE223 and Ramshot TAC with the 200 gr TTSX . 61 gr TAC is good for 2850 fps and well under sub MOA 65 gr CFE 223 about 2700 + and again sub-MOA. Both are started by the WIN Large Rifle primer, but a mag cap would not hurt either.

    25 WBY RPM Dies

    You don't even need to do that. See below. https://www.opticsplanet.com/redding-reloading-25-weatherby-rpm-premium-series-deluxe-die-set.html At that price I'll wait for standard RCBS or even better Hornady dies. Besides talked to them last week about my build. I was suppose to be here a...

    Scope Conundrum!

    Glad they are fixing it. The ONLY leupolds I currently have are simple (and old) vari-x's that sit on usually lever guns (444, 307, 356, 30-30) as set it and forget it scopes. Even those might need a shot or two to settle down (AKA the Leupold wake-up call) but then I just do not mess with...

    6.5x300 Bee still rocking!

    They are amazing. This is not even a max load. Very very short bearing surface on the Absolutes so figure 200 fps faster....pending on cartridge.
