I’ve been using a Labradar for 5-6 years, functionally a good unit, but user interface kinda sucks. If I was looking to purchase a new one, it would be a Garmin for sure!
I wish that more states would allow you to modify or withdraw like WY. I withdrew my application this year after learning I drew a NM elk tag. Sure, I don’t get my money back until after the draw, but at least I do get it back and also keep my points….
I’d go with the Amplus 6 3x18x44 over a Zeiss v4 6x24x50. That Zeiss is a big scope, and way more magnification than what is needed to shoot steel out to 500-600 yards.
I’ve had my LEM grinder for about five years now, got tired of using the attachment on my mixer. Should have purchased a LEM sooner, it actually makes grinding enjoyable….
I’m assuming that your uncle hand loaded these bullets for his rifle, and not the rifle you currently hunt with? If this is true, then I would not shoot them. Just because a hand load is safe in one rifle, doesn’t mean it’s safe to shoot in another rifle.
Varget should get you there in terms of velocity. I really like the 185TTSX bullets, I have yet to be disappointed with there performance on game. Those 186 Shock Hammers look interesting. Have you considered the 175 Hammer Hunters, should be able to reach over 3k fps with those. Be interesting...
