I shoot multiple 10-20 shot groups at various ranges in different conditions before I settle.

I start with 5 shot groups to weed out anything undesirable

I ordered a can from Silencer Central on the 10th of January, I got notification today that it is shipping. This was after I was told it was going to be holy hell to get one after January 1 due to the tax stamp going away, so I dont believe you are going to have to worry about much for wait times.
I bought one of the 9th. Submitted on the 13th and am still awaiting approval. Hopefully I'm not too far out

SE ND.
Ya they work but until swfa gets another bunch they are hard to find. The new s2h scope looks promising. Built by low who does nf stuff and reticle usable through all powers but would guess it is 6 months to a year out. The new nf line looks nice also.
S2H had a update podcast that just came out that I listened to yesterday. 6-12mo sounds pretty likely, form is testing them as we speak. They released the company that they are going through to have it built by LOW, Zero Tech.
I'm looking at a couple of the SWFA SS Gen2 3-15x42 MQ (actually available) and the SS ultralight 2.5-10x32 plex (not in stock) but this one is for an old gun project.
I know everyone talks how Vortex is horrible and drop test this and that. I got 4 and so far no issues, one survived a flight to Texas and back and no issues with holding zero, along with bouncing around in an ATV gun rack around the Texas hunt. I guess it depends on what you plan on doing with it, I don't bang my stuff around kard enough I guess. As far as group shooting I've done lots of 3,5,10 the last 20yrs and 99% of animals are 1st shot impact and probably 99% of those are 1 shot kills. Then again Im not killing deer past 300yds normally so again just have to look at your realistic hunting scenario

I should clarify…these are “target” loads.

The first .75-1 MOA I get at the proper velocity I stop with “hunting” loads. I don’t chase accuracy with those. Very often.
