    Drawn out Problem with Leupold Scope - What should I do?

    One thing I'd try is, at the range string your plumb line at some distance, set your gun in your normal shooting position and hold steady on the plumb line and have a someone adjust the elevation in the up direction (the crosshairs should move down on the plumb line) and see if it tracks off to...

    Sorry I miss read your message, more to the point didn’t understand what you were saying. All I seen was reading the wind wasn’t a skill.

    What is your effective range?

    You know barrels are a funny thing. The first barrel I had on my .338 Big Baer was a Hart 1/10 twist and was using 147 grans of 50 BMG and getting 3275 fps. I re-barreled with a Bartlein left hand gain twist 1/10-9.25 twist and running the 300 Berger’s and getting 3185 fps with 137 grains of 50...

    What is your effective range?

    If you think being able to read the wind is not a skill , you probably never shot at anything over a couple hundred yards. If Shooting at running hogs in timber is ethical to you fine, go for it. For me, I feel more comfortable shooting at a deer at 1000 yards standing broadside than a running...

    What is your effective range?

    When I pushed the earlier 300 Berger at 3400 they came apart. Been a little gun shy going there again. What Powder and charge did you use in the 408 case.

    Some long range PA bucks

    In a traditional hunting, you spot/stalk the animal and when you're comfortable and confident, you take the shot. The big différance in long-range hunting is the conditions that come into play that's really the skill set, being able to read the conditions, wind and light mostly. You still have...

    Portable shooting bench

    Sorry. I'm past 70 years old, and the first I learned anything about long-range hunting was from my father when I was 12 years old and first started hunting. He told me about some gentlemen hunting around Potter county, PA. that deer hunted at 1000 yards. I couldn't believe someone could shoot...

I normally use 22X eyepieces, they seem to be a good trade-off of power and brightness. You can follow the bullet trace with no problem. Two years ago, I...
