Got the 6.5-20 Vortex on the 12BTV, 2-7X32v Vortex on the 300WM and BSA sweet 223 4-16 on the AR, the Vortex Crossfire on the 308 and finally the 2.5-10X40 4200 on the 270W.
 
so far so good with the Crossfire and the BSA.  If the Crossfire dies I'll upgrade to a viper.  BSA I'm thinking thenext step will be a Conquest.

maybe you should try 10x powder too, made by alliant as well.
