Cartridge Bullet Change of Heart
Fist let me say "forgive me Lord for I have sinned", I AM NOT A RELOADER. That said I do, and have enjoyed shooting for years. The problem was money, or a lack there of. I have been able to hunt though since the eighties and loved shooting the Hornady line of cartridges since they came out in...- bholt

Leupold VX-3i or VX-5HD, which one?
I have two VX5HD 3-15X44 with the fire dot, if your budget permits go with the vx5 all day long. You will not regret it, and I am someone who used to work for a living and clearly remember the first time I could afford a LEUPOLD. -

Scope movment
On top of that after having a loose scope/base years ago I believe in blue loctite. Some my disagree thts fine, but as someone said when I'm through I know its right and if not I'm to blame. You will not regret getting that torque wrench, just adds to the confidence level. -

HOWA questions here
I like the Howa, but the pdf catalog a pain to navigate. Is there any chance y’all are going to create a website where a person could more easily jump between the style and model that Howa makes. -
Eldx issues
You are absolutely correct sir, Eld-x ant the sst are hunting bullets. The Eldx really preforms beyond 400 yards. I have the same issues with it at short yardage as you mentioned so I am switching.

Used 25-06 help
