Had a great weekend and was blessed with a Viper PST 4-16X50, FFP Mrad for my .260 AI that Ted at Ted's Custom Shop built for me. My staff and wife got it for me to celebrate 20 years of practice, they are great. The rifle has been performing extremely well, but I have never seen anything that Ted touches that doesn't. But now I am working up final loads and will be shooting with the new scope on. My question for you all is how well do you like the 140 gr Berger VLD as a bullet for deer at longer ranges? I know that is a relative term so I am going to say to 700 yards. The rifle so far has liked the 142 gr SMK, 140 gr Hornady A Max and the Bergers. I was just going to see which it liked the best and stop there. I had not planned on hunting with it this year except for varmints but I have a few places that 700 yard shots are a possibility. And I still remember the buck several years ago that was no doubt a shooter at 683 yards and I was not prepared for the distance. So I am thinkning as long as I am working it up I might as well see about being able to hunt with it too and not just shoot the distances but really begin to practice at that range.
