What glass are you throwing on top with this one? I haven't decided, but I think I will get a Bushnell 4500 4-16X. The way I determine ring height is lightly install a scope and bring the rifle up to my shoulder with my eyes closed. Once in place I open my eyes to see what I see. If I'm looking right through the middle of the scope I cinch it down. If I am looking at the scope off center either up or down, I change the rings so I'm looking through the center of it when I do the routine again. If "3X High rings" work, that's what will be on it.

Killed a pig yesterday evening off back porch. I have a hanging feeder by the edge of the woods. He [bleep] up and came out before dark. He weighed around 140 lbs. The bullet hitting him is louder than rifle.

Killin' pigs on the quiet isn't much of a challenge. Put the bullet where it needs to go and style/construction is unimportant. CB shorts will do the trick if you need a standard to refer to.

I use a 170 Nosler Partition at 1100fps. I use 11 grains trail boss. I live at the edge of city limits of the small town where I live. Cant shoot a .22. Police have been to my house several times asking about shooting. My 308 makes no more noise than a BB gun.

Working up Sub loads and whackin schit with them is an absolute riot.... Feral cats and stray dogs hate the 105s outta the 6x45. Will see how yotes handle them when I can get some time. Going to see if I can get a 6.5 CM to run some 160 Sierra SPs consistently.

I had a lot of fun working up light 45-70 loads and watching them drop into the target at 150 yards through the scope. I have been thinking of a 300 BO upper for my AR. I have everything I need to load including the chop saw to cut down 223.
The first time I shot myself in the head...

With all this ballistic gack and reduced load talk....
Has anyone around SL run the 162 AMaxes subsonic out of a 9 twist 7/08? What are the chances of them stabilizing....

The hoarded supply is abundant, terminal performance outta be hell on ear holes and such for its intended purpose, and thinking it's about the heaviest I could get to spin out of a 9 twist, 16.5" 7/08. A handful of guys here from out West with some elevation said they have run them at subsonic velocities just fine. But being at SL i didn't know if it was a go....
