Default RE: New factory loads for WSM's.

I put one on layawy today at Scheels. Its last years super Shadow I think. It is in 270 WSM. The salesman who I know well, let me take some scopes outside and look around with them. I took a Leupold 4x12 VX-l and a 3x9 vx-ll, a Monarch 3x9 and one of the Scheels Hunter scopes. I settled on the Scheels 4.5X14x40. The Luepold had the most eye relief. The Monarch was the clearest and brightest but the Scheels scope was the best balance of features. They are life time warrany and over the counter replacement at any Scheels store Since I am surronded by Scheels stores that seemed the best choice. The guy said they have sold several hundred since they came out and they have not had to replace one yet. They are a good looking scope and I have been wanting to try this rifle and scope combo for some time. Walmart here sells the 130 grain ballistic silver tips for 23.00. Brass is now available from Win, Rem, Federal and Norma. Of course there is no shortageof bullets available. This along with the above mentioned new loads. The scope came with free steel Leupold/Redfield type rings and Luepold bases. Tolal Package price was 658 + tax.
