Leupold Ultimate Slam 3x9x40mm ML scope.

I got a Leupold Ultimate Slam ML 3x9x40mm scope. It says 150 gr on 9 power too sight in at 100 yds. I am shooting 84grs by weight of blackhorn. Would that work ? I don't want to use 777. I am hoping it will. I was using 250gr sst. But going to try hornady 290gr bore driver bullets this season. I have the scope on my CVA Optima V2 50 cal LR nitride rifle.

The 84 weighed grains is max for that gun so sight it in. With those bullets you might find the sweet spot at a lower charge rate, say 77 grains weighed.

Nice scope and rifle. I have the optima lr nitride finish. I've got the leupold on my slug gun and I'm impressed with it.

This was with the hornady 250gr sst bullet. Shot it at 100 yds. With 84grs of blackhorn by weight.

I might tend to agree with Tom on this. If it shoots the lighter charge just as good as the heavier I'd say go with the lighter. At about $10 an ounce for BH209 I'd want to be as sparing as possible! And no deer will be able to tell the difference.

I have too sight the new scope in. I am going too try 82 grs by weight. I found blackhorn powder 10 oz cans locally. They was were marked 58.00. I bought what they had.

As my dad would’ve said at a time like this… “That load looks like it might have potential.”

I am hunting around clearcuts. Plus i have a chance at a bear. I am used to shooting 84 grs. I will try 3 shot group with 84 grs too. Bear and deer ML season opens Saturday. Off 9 days too hunt.

I have the Accura V2 Lr with the same scope. I'm shooting 80grn blackhorn by volume with a xtp 240 and I used the 2 pellet mark to sight in my Rifle. I'm getting 1in groups at 100yds. The Leupold VX is very clear and gathers a lot of light at dawn and dusk!
