    I guess the 30 06 would be in you list of Placid as there is Data everywhere and alot align
    My challenging ones would be a couple of 6.5x55's and a 9.3 x62, the good thing about my x55's is they are modern actions so I don't have the concern some one who is loading for say a 94 might have.
    What about the 30 30, where would you put that
    I don't load for mine and I guess I never will
    haven't fired it much but it seems to be minute of large fist at 100 metres with factory ammo and smallish rock at 150 so I'm thinking this will do me.

    I found the 9.3 real easy to load accurately for .

    My Finn however initially wouldn't accept anything I tried in 2209 which really got up my nose as I tried a couple of my reject loads in my mates new T3 Tikka and they were mint.

    Got it sorted and it shoots just fine but not as easily done as the Tikka, I remember posting about it years ago in the "things you really hate" thread.
