I use N570 in my 264 WM, I have not noticed it being overly dirty so I wouldn't consider that a concern. As for being bulky I do agree it comes with a few loading challenges but so far I have been overcome by just holding the case and funnel together and tapping the case on my bench to settle...
I know you stated you wanted to use heavier bullets but my Encore 264 WM Bullberry barrel really likes 120 gr TTSX and 124 gr Hammer Hunters with N570, also if you have a 1:9 tw it will stabilize this wt range much better. If I was working up a load for 140 gr bullets I would still start with...
Original TC can still be found occasionally, Talley, DNZ may be others any thoughts on the best and why? Currently have DNZ on all my barrel setups but will be setting up another soon and always looking to upgrade. Thoughts or opinions?
TIA

You didn't specific the cartridge you are using, if you are pushing them at hyper speeds out of a magnum then a mono is great to keep from blowing the bullet up and not getting an exit wound for a good blood trail. For normal speeds cup and core bullets work well. Best option for DRT is the high...
Anyone have any experience with this cell cam, heard good things about it on another forum but looking for some more real world experience with it. Any comments will be appreciated.
Anyone have any experience with a Swarovski Habicht 1.5-6X42? Saw a used one up for sell but not sure of the wt since can't seem to find detailed specs and I know this have been out of production for a while.

Scope will be mounted on an Encore SML conversion, shooting a 275 ASG bullet over 61 gr of IMR 4198 so it has pretty substantial recoil. Intended usage range 300 yds and under most likely 150 and under but could stretch out a little.
Requirements are:
1. eye relief
2. compact and lite wt. to...
I am intrigued by the German Precision Optics Spectra 6x 1.5-9x32i G4i. I love a 4A reticle for a scope like this and at 17.5 oz, 13.3" length and 4" eye relief it checks a lot of boxes for me unfortunately I do not know anyone with personal experience with them.
Thoughts on best low power variable out there? really like something like a 1-6 or 2-8 but would consider 3-9. Really like German glass but flexible on that.
I currently have a Z5 3-18x44 and have recently owned a Conquest 4.5-14x44 but not a Z3 or the lower magnification Conquest. Does anyone have experience with both, for what it is worth it will be mounted on an Encore 45/70 SML conversion?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
