    When ballistics and moa don’t match

    And here we all were hoping it was Hornady's fault.

    Scope for a 22 mag

    2-7 all day. I have one on my 22mag, and would have a hard time considering anything else. 1x is a CQB concept—not something you need for small game. A 4-12 is fun for targets and picking off pidgeons from 100yds, but 4x is probably already more than you want for coon calling.

    Last meal for my most recent harvest. She was super healthy and will do a fine job feeding our folks :).

    What are you currently reloading?

    Everybody makes mistakes. They'll make it right if you give them a call.

    Sleeping Bags

    Sierra Designs 35* quilt bag hybrid thing. It's an odd duck, but I keep reaching for it out of several other options so I guess I like it.

    7mm-08 load for Weatherby

    Saying the 140g etips are no good in the 7mm-08 is just silly. Almost as silly as judging bullet performance by expansion and citing a tough-to-find animal as evidence that they're not good enough. Within normal hunting ranges, say ≤400y, the etips from typical 7/08 loads are going *plenty*...

    7mm-08 load for Weatherby

    It sounds like you have a rifle that shoots ~1-1.5 MOA. Better to just accept that and go on having fun, rather than thinking you just haven't found the right load. Have you been able to repeat the ~1/2 MOA groups? Like Wind Gipsy pointed out, you *will* occasionally get tiny groups because of...

    Talk me out of a Leupold SX-4 15-45x65

    Well y'all talked me out of it. Or at least finding an Athlon Ares G2 15-45 for less than $500 talked me out of it, anyway 😅.

    Leupold CDS

    Depends a lot on the distance. You can be wrong by double and never notice if you think it's 50y but it's actually 100y. But if you guess 400 and it's actually 450, you'll miss entirely or would the animal. Spend some time playing with ballistic calculators and keep and eye on the drop...

    Entry/Mid range Binoculars

    Used from a brand with a bulletproof warranty. 100%. Wouldn't shock me to see a pair of BX-4 Pro guide 10x42s on ebay for $300. I think I paid $350 for mine. Insane quality for the money. Vortex obviously has the same quality of warranty and I've heard good things about Athlon as well.
