    Validate it to the maximum distance you will shoot to. More steps/distances will give you a better picture of your ballistic curve Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    tikka liked post by Beetroot On thread : 300 Blackout barrel length
    The only real reasons to go 300blk are either to suppress is or to shoot it in an AR. If suppressing is not an option you may aswell go for 6.5 Grendel or one of the other cartridges you mentioned....

    I'd put the Leupold on the bush rifle as that lower magnification gives you much better FOV and the warranty is better than Burris. Then the Leica on the 6.5 grendel. :thumbsup:

    In the open areas where you hunt (by the look of your photos) that may be true. But in the thick stuff the animal is usually gone in a flash so if you wait you will mostly miss. Your ability to put...
