What kind of loads are you using and what kind of ballistics are you getting? Would a Leupold Vari-X II hold up to the punishment?

Right now I am using 100 grains of 3f Triple 7 or 120 grains (4, 30 pellets) of Pyrodex and getting about 1.5 inch 3 shot groups at 100 yards with the T/C 250 grain Shockwave bullet [Smile]
I have no had a chance to chrono yet (topography at the range does not fit my tripod) but I am guessing about 1900 fps.
More combos to try, like the 300 grain shockwave and Hornady SST.
I did not have very good results with the Precision Rifle 260 dead-center bullets, abouy 8 inches at 100 yards [Frown]

Thanks, I just purchased mine today. I have some 295 gr. Power Belts to try with 120, 130, 150 grains of Pyrodex pellets. I would like to try the 245 grains also.
