Forgot to mention loads...

This target might give you thought...



I believe the Lehigh bullet is one the bullets bullets on the market.  Of course I think they are a step above Nosler Partition and the Barnes offering.

If you do not want to pay for the premium bullet and in this day and age, i would suggest you look at the Speer .452/300 gr. Deep Curl/Gold Dot. Bonded bullet with controlled Expansion... BC .233

I vote for the Barnes TMZ.  Absolutely devastating on game!  Proven over and over again.  I don't have a pic of the 250gr TMZ I recovered from my bull elk last year but it was perfectly mushroomed on the opposite side with a double lung shot at about 100yds.  The bull went nowhere!

I use 100grs of T7 FFG and a CCI #11 mag primer.  I put a Williams Ghost Ring Aperture on my rear sight and love it for hunting.

This was 3 shots at 100 yds shooting off my Stoney Point Rapid Pivot bipod.  I pulled a bit on the 3rd shot but the TMZ is very accurate.

Here are some I dug out of the bank behind my target.  This was hard packed dirt too.

Hey Sabotloader,

What is the part number for the front ramp and fiberoptic?  I can't find anything that says will fit my Bighorn

I use the Williams FP peep sight on my MK85 and the Big Horn...



The FP is a very good peep site and has 1/4" clicks for both windage and elevation.

The front sight is a Williams fiber optic bead and not shown in the picture I have added hood that is open at the top to light up the front bead.



I will try to get a picture posted with the hood...

Here are some more pics of the set-up

Just second let me call Williams and see if I can come up with those numbers.... Just tried to get ahold of Steve at Williams - could not get through but left a mesaage and he should return the call.

When I get the information I will post it here...
