Give her a break on her first spotter assignment.🔭 I think you should do one more video with her spotting a rock chuck hunt with your 25-06 BAR and have one of your ARs for backup while the BAR cools, just to show her how good her gift selection skills are.😊

[@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009]

Yes, we both had a good laugh after viewing the video and the shots location.

[@clintonlayne9253]

Dave, that some sound advice on adjusting the scope .and easy to remember . I always have to look at the dials . 😆

[@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009]

Yes, that little jingle has stuck in my head and works well indeed.

[@tripplebeards3427]

Favorite bullet choice for your caliber. It’s my goto fur friendly bullet in 223. I also like fourty grain Nosler ballistic tips.

[@bradboe1901]

60 grain vmax is a good bullet, I use them in my old .222 bolt and my semi’s

On some plinkin videos they're turning off the comments. Good video.

[@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009]

Good to know. Because I dang sure wouldn't do that to folks who are nice enough to take the time to comment on my vids.

Great combo video, Dave -- range + field. Here's hoping you retire easy from the Biden-Harris campign ad revenue I had to wait through to watch this great video 🎉😂

Thanks for the kind words here.

Another trick I have learned from YT (Winning in the Wind channel) is to go past your needed scope adjustment, then back.. to take out any slack/ backlash in the scope adjustments/ sticking of springs/ turrets.. more important when relieving tension (up/ right adjustments) than adding tension, but a good idea in general.. I mention this as it looks like your scope (sometimes) needed a shot to "settle" in adjustments.. in the 'old days, we'd tap on turrets with a round after adjustments.. I'm sure you remember that :)

[@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009]

Thanks for the tips, yes I remember the good ole days well indeed. Scopes today are so much better.

[@mikecollins8241]

@@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009 Yes they are! Rare to get a bad one out of the box, unlike the old days ;) I still find the "past and back" method to be a good idea, doesn't hurt anything and who wants to waste even 1 shot anymore... lol

[@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009]

@@mikecollins8241 So true, indeed.

[@luvtahandload7692]

Maybe better run home and get the 300 Wby. 😅 thanks for the vid!

Those misses would have cost me $$$$ with the 300's

[@danalim9670]

hard to move away from .223 to another cartridge because of the larger selection of bullets and powder data...it will be a viable contender for many years yet 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009]

Agree. But others are better for distance beyond 350yds.

[@danalim9670]

i've been using 69's for 600-yard service rifle but the best i could hope for is a 14" group with normal field conditions so you're right about switching flavors😇🇺🇸

Morning Dave!!

[@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009]

Mornin' CW. Watching your Ruger video now

[@tripplebeards3427]

@@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009 That’s my favorite predator projectile in 223. I use 25 grains of benchmark and 25.2 grains of H4895 in my three 223 and 5.56’s for best accuracy. It dumps coyotes off their feet. Depending on which barrel length and twist rate I don’t get exits . If I do, it’s with the shorter barrel and fast twist. In my shorter barrel rifles they are going about a 125 fps slower and exit on average a fifty cent sized hole. I also like 40 grain Nosler ballistic tips with 27 grains of benchmark because they are flat shooting. I don’t have to hold over out to almost 300 yards. I tried to post six times and it keeps erasing it. I figured I’d post under CW’s comment and see if it sticks this time.
