Ar platform or Bolt action ?? Do you hand load ?? A little info like that would go a long way to be able to help in a more specific way.

Scuba, we aren’t allowed AR platform. It has to be lever action, single shot or bolt action.
Not that it helps you since I don’t know what Coop has.

I have ruger American with 2x7x32 leoupold. Took my muzzle break off was so loud my right ear was messed up for 3 days. I am sighted in 2 inches high at 100 yards. Also shoot Hornaday ammo but am not impressed with bullet performance at all. Nice handy little rifle though. My muzzle brake has reverse threads in case you have a removeable brake. Is that Hornady FTX bullet too fragile? I saw a video where a guy tested it and it blew to pieces. It did a good job on the one pig I shot with it but one sample is not enough to tell. I'm wanting to try the new Fusion load but I haven't been able to find it anywhere yet. Unfortunately my rifle does not shoot the 300gr Federal hollow points nearly as well as the Hornady FTX.

I have the Ruger American Ranch Rifle. Topped it with a Leoupold VX-Freedom made for the 450. Zero it in at 100, and it is marked to where you just turn the dial to "2" for 200 yards, "2.5" for 250 yards, etc. out to 300 yards (and everywhere in between). Only killed one deer with it so far, but LOVE THAT GUN!
When life gets me down..... you know hunting/trapping season is closed.

Ruger American rifle w/ the 22" barrel... I'll probably shoot factory loads, 250 gr Hornady's for a start. I have friends that reload so if I can get the dies I can get reloading done. I'll probably scope it w/ a Leupold, most likely a Vari-X II 3X9X40 I just took off a 20 ga H&R Ultra Slugger. Planning on a 2" high @ 100m yd. zero... hope that helps... Sounds like it'll be an ear buster...
