Thread: What rifle to reload for

Already lots of good advise, my 2cents. Load what you have to get the best accuracy, even if it means single loads.
Then you have a bench mark for how well it shoots, then experiment with loads to fit the mag.

one good thing about reloading is once you develop good accurate ammo you don,t have to worry about where its going to shoot not like factory ammo it quite often will shoot in a different place

For me it doesn’t matter what rifle I’m using. I reload for sub MOA accuracy and projectile performance on animals first and economic of reloading than buying over priced factory ammo here in New Zealand and well worth it if firing high volume of ammo. Some calibers I’ve had are wild cats which means reloading only. I reload for a few mates and they bought the dies for the calibers I didn’t already have and some only use 100 rounds in 3 or 4 years but have the best of the best accuracy and performance from stock standard rifle.

It all really depends on what you needs are? Fast pace goat/bunny’s and targets 200 rounds in a day? or maximum accuracy long range deer dropper on the spot?.

all of them...... very seldom do I buy factory ammo anymore. sometimes .223 or 7.62x39mm only because its so darn cheap..... normally both get fed reloads so I can taylor loads to whatever I want them to achieve.

I built a 284 on a Tikka action for the purpose of being able to seat the bullets long and still fit in the magazine. Im considering selling my Tikka 7mm rem mag as I have to single feed it in order to get it shooting well with the bullets I wanted. This will help me to fund other toys now that I have my 284. I could go down the path of using an AICS magazine conversion but I don't want a magazine sticking out the bottom on a hunting rifle. I have plenty of time to think about it though haha.
