Never had a problem using just open sights on a 505
even out to 100 yards and a bit further.

Hello 500Nitro,
Yes, I have no problem with irons sites also, even up to 125 yds. But, Our deer season starts at 6:30 am in the morning. However, I can't see the irons until about 7:00 am. That's why the scout-scope is a nice touch. I used it from 6:30 am until 7:00 am, and then removed it and put it in my pocket. I put it back on for the last 30 minutes in the evening. Same reason, too little light to see irons.

I had my Searcy 450 NE converted to a Talley based rib. Now I can add either the Leupy 1.5X5 or the red dot. My eye are starting to get tired so this helps.
Looks don't count as much as being functional.
Did you make a die to size the cast bullets?

Hello AkMike,
I think it looks "cool" with the scout-scope set-up. I wish my Leupold was a 1.5 ... 4x is a bit too much. Wanna trade?
I didn't size the bullets. I used them as purchased in .510 dia. They work just fine. At these low velocities (low pressures) that I'm loading, they just "squeeze" down in the throat.
