My FN Mauser shot under 6 inches at 600 yards today. 250 NAB over 60.5 grains of Varget. Leupold VX3 3.5x10
CDS 200 zero. Used my 6500' 40 degree turret at 500' elevation and 70 degrees today. Taking it on my Colorado Elk hunt fri. Hopefully I shoot an Elk at about 200 yards.


That is a great load.

My VX-6 1-6 #4 reticle isn't very effective past 300 yds. It's a tad coarse for long range shooting, covers up too much target. I'm thinking about mounting another scope in QD rings and see what it will do LR. With two scope in QD's, I can swap them back and forth.

Your results got me to thinking... smile
