    Range Finders

    I am looking for a good rangefinder under $1000. I have a Leica 800 now that I am not satisfied with. I use the range finder resting on a sandbag, so I know it is not me shaking. If the target (whitetail) is over 450 I have trouble getting any readings, sometimes 400 is about all I can get...

    Retumbo and E.S.

    Boyd, RL-25 seems too temperature sensitive too me. I am using H-1000 now. Since they are very close in burn rate. I will ***/u/me for 180-200g bullets You would say H-1000 would be a better choice than Retumbo?

    Retumbo and E.S.

    On another board, someone said they got high extreme spreads when using Retumbo. Has any of you found that to be true also? I was thinking of trying it in .300 R.U.M. w/ 180g Sciroccos and 200g AccuBonds. I know some shooters like it with the heavier bullets. How does it work with mid-wieght...
