Working Up A Load For ELk

With my Elk Hunting trip coming up I thought I would work up my load a bit to see what type of results I can get. I loaded my .300 WM casing with 71 grains of IMR 4831 powder and topped it off with a 168 grain Barnes TSX bullet. I took 3 shots @ 100,200, and 300 yards. My grouping was 1" at 200 yards, and 2" at 300 yards with an overall bullet drop of 6" from 100 to 300 yards. It is an improvement over my last seasons round which included 70 grains of powder.

New From Swarovski

I just got this email from Cameralandny.com, check it out:

We are working closely with Swarovski Optik to bring you a monthly newsletter with some insight to what Swarovski is up to and how to apply these innovations to your needs. Where possible we will include videos that they have put out.

Please assist us in this Newsletter program by e-mailing us ideas on topics you’d like covered. We are nothing without you and want to bring you the information you desire. Going on my own I thought a nice start would be with the Swarovski Ballistic Turret.

Swarovski Optik Ballistic Turret
Cameraland NY

Firearms, munitions and optical instruments alike have all become far more accurate in recent years. The result is that long-range shots are technically possible. Nevertheless, the requirements on the hunter are high and, in addition to accurate determination of the distance, this calls for solutions which provide an accurate aiming point and thus enable specific long-range target shots. We’ve seen the popularity of long range shooting features soar over the past few years, especially when it comes to long range reticles. There are those of us however who prefer to use a turret system rather than a reticle. The SWAROVSKI OPTIK ballistic turret (BT) allows you to “stay on the mark” when shooting at various downrange distances.

EASY, ACCURATE AND PRACTICAL

  • You can assemble the ballistic turret yourself in a few easy steps, customizing it to any caliber and load combination.
  • There are four main downrange yardage markers on the turret as well as small markers for those “in between” distances.
  • You determine what downrange distances you want and can change them easily at any time yourself.
  • Swarovski Optik’s own specially developed ballistics program will calculate for you the necessary values (number of clicks) for the distances you desire.
  • Unlike a ballistic reticle, you don’t have to worry about what power your scope is set on for the system to be accurate.
  • Simply turn the turret to the desired downrange distance marker and hold on the main crosshair.

MODELS WITH BALLISTIC TURRET

Z6(i) 2.5-15×44 P; Z6(i) 2.5-15×56 P; Z6(i) 3-18×50 P; Z6(i) 5-30×50 P; Z6 1.7-10×42, Z6 2-12×50, Z5 3.5-18×44; Z5 5-25×52; Z3 4-12×50;

Ballistic Programs
Cameraland NY

The ballistic programs from Swarovski Optik provide you with software tailored precisely to a hunter’s requirements.

The ballistic programs support our distance reticles (BR, TDS) when determining individual aiming points.

Using the separate ballistic program for our ballistic turret (BT), it is also possible to determine the correction values necessary for the sight-in distances you desire.

Here you find our ballistic programs.

We look forward to bringing you a regular "News from Swarovski" Newsletter.
