Whats the twist on the 243 barrel?

Been running Berger 168 VLD's, mag primer, H4831SC (60 grains) and getting 2913fps out of my 1:9 25" barrel. Switching over to Cutting Edge 155 MTH bullet for hunting. Any thoughts on powder? RL22, stick with H4831SC or try something else? Anybody have any experience or loads for a 155...

What speeds were you seeing with the 300 grain bullets? What kind of groups were you getting?

Whats the weight on it?

In the middle of a re-fi... If its still available in a couple weeks I will prolly pick it up... Any idea of what it weighs?

Whats the twist rate on it?

So.... Normally use a old compass and topo maps, recently been using my cell phone with offline topo maps as well. Decided to pony up for one of them fancy new shiny GPS units. That being said, plan on using it for hunting, motorcycling (on and offroad), in my UTV and occasionally for use in...

Ever tried a phone skope with the spotter? I was thinking about getting one to use my iphone with my spotter.

Don't forget that its not just the added weight of the spotter, but most likely would have to run a heavier tripod to stabilize the bigger heavier glass.

IMO 50mm spotters don't let in enough light, I prefer a good set of binos stabilized by a tripod or shooting sticks over a 50mm spotter...

I was in the same boat.. Well sort of... I ended up getting a Vortex Razor HD 65... I personally think the Swaro is the best (ATX), but out of my price range, I liked the Zeiss (spent a good amount of time behind one on my last elk hunt), and IMO on max res they are the slightest bit more...

1800 handles all my stuff with some room to spare, but my rain gear is super small/lightweight, even takes my puffy jacket which I normally start off with and shed mid day... I am going to buy a 3000/3200 for over nighters.weekend trips when I need to fit in all the normal day stuff plus a...

I have a Ultra 1800. Took it elk hunting and love it. Previously had Sitka, Eberlestock and a couple different Badlands packs. This is the most comfortable to me and my back didnt seem to get as hot as some of the others. Perfect size, throw my rain gear, GPS, maps, water, spotter, bino...

Guided cow on private ranch thought a couple outfitters I have found is around $1300-1500 and that includes food and lodging, but still out money for out of state licenses and tags which combined is another $600 ish.

I think it would prolly get left out on backpacking trips because of size and weight for me...
