 I like that I do not need  a spotting scope when I am shooting at the 200 yard range. The main objective with this setup is to use it for hunting,mainly for Pronghorn Antelope.

I am using a .308 168 Ballistic Tip with 40.0 grains of Norma 202 powder. Magnum rifle primers,all tucked into Lake City LR brass. The bullet is zeroed to 300 yards and drops 2 inches at 500 yards. I will not attempt any shots beyond my 300 yard zero. I know what this rifle is capable of and I am comfortable in my shooting skills. However, no sence in trying any superman shots beyond that 300 yard range. This was done last Wednesday.  Twenty shots at 200 yards.

Sounds like a good zero to me.
I'm amazed how many quote drop in feet, or even yards! Then I ask them "what zero"?
100yds!
Well, yeah I guess but why would you zero so far off the intended range?

 I will continue to use this rifle at the range but, my main use will be my go to hunting rig. The average shot for Arizona Mule Deer is maybe 100 yards. Elk averages a shot between 50 and 150 yards,depending on terrain. Pronghorn Antelope will be between 150 to 300 yards. If my intended target is 200 yards out to 400 yards my kill zone is centered within a 4"circle. With my Mildot and side focus,I know the rifles zero. If my focus is at 100 yards,I aim three dots high. If I focus at 400 yards,I aim one dot low. The bullets I am using are the flattest shooting projectiles for my rifle. At 500 yards the bullet has dropped 2.2" and has slowed to 1900 fps. Energy released upon impact at 500 yards is right at 875 ft pounds.

 I am currently loading up some potential hunting rounds. All my target loads are with the 168grn bullet.  Barnes makes a 168grn Triple Shock X BTHP hunting bullet. I am going start out by running  ten target rounds down range,and then running ten hunting rounds down range to see how much,if any,horizontal or lateral bullet deflection is observed between the two loads.

Overall, I like the look. You do some nice sporters, Goosic. Personally, I don't care for the stock color. That's just personal taste though. I do like how the stock sits and fits.

Goosic. It appears you're a fine shot with your Enfields. I totally understand the concept of a muzzle brake in regards to magnum rounds.  Do you find it makes a notable difference for accuracy with the .303 British and/or the 7.62 NATO, or more just cosmetics.Thanks.

The muzzlebrake is doing exactly what it is supposed to be doing. I cut the barrel down to exactly 20 inches,measuring from the chamber where the rifling starts.  Gives me two complete turns. The rifle has a definite reduction in  recoil with the muzzlebrake.
