10Turkeys Report post Posted November 13, 2019 Vapor trails are fun to watch in a spotting scope, don't see them that often. I'm not sure what conditions cause them. My BIL was on a Antelope hunt in Wyoming and the guide filmed the shot and it has a vapor trail. I'll see if I can't get the video and post it. Video is posted in Antelope, if you can open it.

PRDATR Report post Posted November 14, 2019 I have only seen a vapor trail a few times in fog or when the humidity was high. On the other hand I have watched the heat wave of a bullet behind a spotting scope as it came into view in the bottom of the objective and followed it to the target that was 500 yards away on a warm day.

Hoss50 Report post Posted November 18, 2019 We have fun shooting at the 200 yard steel with pistols sometimes, and if you are acting as a spotter with binoculars you can see the bullets flying through the air before they hit the steel. The big slower calibers like 45LC are the best. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

duckhunter175 Report post Posted January 25, 2020 Well- the good news is that she shoots just as good as she looks-- Topped with a Razor AMG 6-24, I ran some 115gr VLD handloads leftover from its predecessor... first 3rd group at 100 was .3... had a chance to take it along on a deer hunt. Only saw bucks that were too young BUT, saw a big boar hog on the menu and at just over 100 yards the 115gr Berger at 3400 literally dissolved the spinal column on a 175lb pig-- a pocket knife was all I needed to get the head off for a euro. Working on the 131s now but just couldn't wait to see how she did! Also- I must say, I'm truly impressed with the AMG. Love the turrets and controls- very sharp glass.

duckhunter175 Report post Posted January 30, 2020 Settled on a load I think-- running 7828ssc, 3303fps, getting 1" @ 200, probably room to tighten up by playing with seating depth but this will work for now with a hunt coming up in 3 weeks. I expect if I can find Retumbo or if I want to run RL33 I could reach 3350-3400 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
