thanks Doug. i tossed around alot of colors. this year i will be hunting in a stand we call the 'birds nest'. one of my brothers nick names. 'bird' as we call him. he shot a nice buck off this stand last year, anyway it is built among pine trees. so i went with the green look.

i tried to get some vvn120 today but they were out. gonna try RL7 and 5744. anybody shoot 4759 with the 300 gr bully's? velocity? 2200 perhaps. i have a chrony, will test some loads this week and post results.

well i shot some 300 xtp's.
43 grs of 4759=2146 fps. 11/4" group
41 grs of 5744=1917 fps. 21/2" group
55 grs of rl7= no chrony. 11/2" group
250 gr bullets
43 grs of 4759=2259 fps. just under 1" group.
55 grs rl7=2069 2" group
some of thes loads were shot with hph 24 sabot's. best groups were with hornady sst with supplied sabot. i shot one shot with 65-rl7-300xtp and it was my last.
2259 with the 250 sst/43 grs of 4759 is excellent. the testing continues..........
