    That's what I like to hear!
    So far I've only started some test loads for the 308 on the weekend and found a nice combo producing satisfactory results at 42gr but wondered if I needed to reduce the loads down to say 0.2gr and test either side or if I'm better off to settle on that and be done.
    Haven't started on the treble yet...
