Been hearing (reading) a lot about that type of setup. Glad to see one in the flesh. I hope it works well for you.

I've got it zeroed at 150 yards, .5" high at 100 yards, 5" low at 200, my cut over is just a shade over 150 yards.
The pictured bullet is a 150 grain Deer Season XP also have a 5 round mag of 170 grain hornady American white Tail with the 170 grain interlock soft point , flight characteristics are nearly identical to the 150 grain XP

Is that a 350 legend?

I like deer hunting with a single-shot rife so I bought a Traditions Outfitter single-shot rifle and put a nikon 2.5 x 10 Prostaff scope on it. Not decided if I want to use the 250 or 280 grain bullets.
Most of my shots are well under 100 yards.
I plan on using factory ammo this year for the brass. I'll reload for it next year if I like it better then H&R 243 Handi-Rifle.
What distances are you shooting?
This Traditions I'd right on at 100 yard's with the 150 grain bullets.
With the 180 grain it is hitting three inches low.
After I see how well each of the bullets perform I'll go with the one I like better
I was talking with a friend back here in Upstate New York a couple of days ago and he likes the 165 bullets.

Nice, I think I will use the 165 grain bullets next year when I start to reload for it.
Are you reloading for it? I'm seeing reports of bad reviews on reloading this caliber.

I don't reload, too busy to dedicate that kind of time

The coffee has 2 creams in it, just the way it shouldThat looks like a nice setup. Except your coffee looks contaminated
I wish they had the legend when I got my AR. I'm stuck with a boring 5.56 and a lever action 357 instead.
