No

I'd stop listening to the person that told you that......

I will probably take that advice. He has been pretty negative about everything to do with this gun.

Haha youre always going 2 have some1 disagree. I have a 300 wsm and havnt ever ruined a case. also using rl17 in it, also in a .308 and a 6.5, so thatight be worth a crack goes good for me

Who makes that powder? That sounds the go for what I want

Alliant. Reloader brand

You wont get huge velocities out ou your smaller catridges with it.. But it certainly still works. And im guessing you wont need them to be going that quick anyway

I only shoot the .308 and 6.5 in close. What projectiles would you say for the 6.5. Im going to use sierra pro hunter 150's for the .308 not sure.about 6.5

I would probly still agree with getting powder to suit each application. I still use others i just find the rl17 is my top choice for my 300 wsm(where speed and accuracy matters)

If your shooting the 6.5 in close I suggest something like the hornady 129 or 140gr interlock
Remington 140gr Core Lokt
Sierra Gameking
Any of those should work fine.

Never shot the Interlocks - how do they compare to Amax and SST in terms of terminal performance?

Are the ttsx I think its them from barnes and its all copper. Are they any good? If not what are they good for? I think I remeber seeing something about them for places where you cant use lead in rifles or somethinf.

Read a book Toby, learn some shit from it, then ask questions - after you know what your talking about

I cant read what hasnt turned up yet. Whats so bad about about asking and slowly learning names of powders and projectiles and stuff. Geez must be that time of the month for some of you.

I haven't used the interlocks either but they are a cup and core bullet of the type that have been taking game for years. for toby's intended use at the moment and guessing probably 200y or less there abouts, they would be cheap and with the good SD should do the job very well
