    some random thoughts as i have a coffee @viper

    to me the whole process is enjoyable, a bit tiresome if your going up and down huge amounts as in rimfire LR but generally its a fun thing with the BIG payoff with a good hit . . . that rabbit getting rolled at distance spins my wheels everytime and makes up for all the expense, time etc that came before

    hours at the reloading bench can become a grind so mostly i break it up into bits . . . cases one day, primer seating the next, powder and bullet seating another . . . if it becomes hard work you will chuck it eventually . . attitude is everything.

    with dialing i like to think of it as starting with a zero of say 100yds and then if i see a wabbit at 275 i am dialing up for a 275yrd zero . . . hopefully with a dead rabbit in the very near future.

    as you say viper the .223 has longer legs than the .222, if yours is like mine it only likes 50grn bullets so your not going to get a big improvement in range whatever bullet you choose . . . my treble2 is a 275 - 300yrd rifle on a good day, with the ability to roll a Deer out to 200 . . . for fckall cost, thats pretty cool.

    end of ramble . . . R
