    Re: Berger Load Data v. Varget Load Data etc Darrell: It is probably capable of higher, I just have to factor in my level of knowledge and familiarity. I do not have a velocity yet, just got the chrono but I will be competing at 500 yards.

    F T/R Competition Need help with ring selection

    Re: Need help with ring selection Mount the scope on the gun using modelling clay, get the scope at the height that you want then measure the thickness of the modelling clay. Your base + ring should equal that thickness. Make sure you check the scope height when in your shooting position.
