I've been carrying for a few years off and on, and I find that between a 365X, a glock 19, and a LCP2, I grab the LCP2 at least 90% of the time. In my opinion, a small .380 you carry every day is better than a 9mm that sits at home...
Swaro NL pure if you can swing it! I’ve only looked through the 12x42 model but they are phenomenal. I think they have the biggest field of view you will find in 8’s. I have a buddy with meopta meostar binos, and they are very very close, but are a reasonable price. For my money it would be meopta.
I think I was avoiding the 147 gr. bullets because I thought they would be moving too slow, and I thought I wouldn’t get decent expansion. I’ll do some more research into those.
I'm curious to hear some stories about any hunting success with the 140 gr. ELD-M in a 6.5 Creedmoor. What are the results you guys have seen?
I've been researching and reading some things about guys hunting with them, but I wanted to hear a few more ideas before I decide on a bullet to work up...
I've been really liking my ShadyRays, especially with the warranty. They will replace them even if you lose them!
I've used it a few times, and they are great to work with.
