after much scope debate...

[nastynatesfish]

Been going back and forth for the lst 3 days about which scope to top my 7mm remmeingon 700 with ( between nikon buckmaster 6-18x40 sf mil dot or the bushnell elite 3200 firefly ret). Just ordered the Nikon from midway for 310 on sale. Paid extra shipping to get it here by wednesday. Ill get it mounted and post some picks and range report next weekend.

NOW. Anyone have a good start point load for the berger 160s and reloade 22? I loaded 10 up at 64 grs and will paper thos thiss week also. Thanks a bunch

Ya sorry meant the 168gr. The 64 gr charge I used impacted about 3" lower than my 162 amax with 65 gr at 300. Also I run a 28" barrel so I know that will push it a little more. Ill call berger in the morning and as them but that will help a lot. Where is the info from?
Thanks
