RapidrobMy one mile rifle
Now that the warm weather is coming and I have my rifle dialed in, the powder I'm using is no longer available! I can't stand it.
Back to working up a load with powder I can find and use. Man I really liked that Hybrid powder.

I know for a fact that Nightforce NXS and S&B can. You may not want to spend what a S&B cost. I can highly recommend the NXS
Also look at the SWFA Super Sniper 5-20. I have this on my 375 VM2 414 grains at 3200 fps!

butchlambertIf you want the best, go for a March 10X60. A little spendy, but I think better than the S&B or the Nightforce.
$3K is a little more than spendy!!! LOL

RapidrobI worked out a deal with Vortex in the PI. They sent me a scope that has not broken as yet.

Cold Trigger FingerH100v is a good powder that gives very good velocity in some rifles/ cartridges. Not all however. It does give about the best velocity in my pet, the 6.5 Creedmoor but no one that I know of can get any kind of good accuracy from it in the 6.5 Cm. . Any more I don't even look at a new cart unless I can first get 10-20 lbs of the powder it likes enough to wear the barrel out at least half way .

That worked successfully for a few years until a wounded, vindictive brown bear taught me that precise bullet placement is not always possible in thick alders, at spitting distances and when time is measured in split seconds. Lucky to come out of that lesson alive, I decided to look for a more suitable rifle."

Cold Trigger FingerPop ; I'm pretty hooked on the SWFA scopes also. They have lots of travel. Are tougher than twisted cougar poop and are totally repeatable
I would really like to have the $$$$ to buy IOR scopes but in the mean time I'll stick with SWFA.
Beautiful rifle you have there also.
