When I watched the video, nice by the way, I believe you mentioned that you were shooting the Parker Match Hunter bullets? Just a suggestion...……. I personally know a guy that has been testing for Bob, both the Match Hunter and the Black Max. The Black Max for hunting from what I understand would be the bullet to use with the lower velocities that BH produces. It will not just pencil through an animal. The latest results from testing and many rounds of both the MH and the BM indicate their
accuracy is identical, so one is not loosing one thing for another. Both bullets flights and accuracy are identical at ELR also 1,000yds+.
You'll find a difference of opinion depending on who you talk to about wads. Some prefer wool, while many others prefer veggie. I personally use a veggie in my new custom.
Which height did you purchase with the Mark4 rings, .840" or the 1"???
I have the 1" on my custom, using a 50mm Nightforce. I have .300" clearance using a 15moa mount.
I actually shot in the Dark on this and Went Medium which is .840, My Scope Obj is 50MM as well, I will know tomorrow when the Brown Truck gets here with the Scope, and Rings. This Murphy’s Base stands fairly Tall, All i can do is Cross my fingers that everything Works, if not i will have to send the Rings back and exchange. I like to keep my Scope as low as Possible, But i was also noticing today from my Cheek Weld on this Thumbhole Stock that i can go a little Higher than Normal. It will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow
They make the Mark 4 Rings in Both Aluminum and Steel, I always go Steel Everything. I have always been a BIG fan Of Leupold Mark 4 Stuff. I have tested it several times over the years, and most recently with my .308, Pull the Scope from The Base (Rings left attached to the Scope) Put it back on the Base, Torque back to 65 inch pounds, I go right back Zero EVERYTIME, Good Stuff!
Same thing Nightforce’s was doing in their Torture Test Video
