ahh yes but if you were using the .308w with 110grn vmax my advice would be the same
mate got me to load some light loads for 30/06 I managedto find 125grn taipans..the ywere goat decapitators with high neck shot....same deal very explosive with little penertration.

well it seems i jumped the gun ...(no pun intended) the seller on TM is an absolute arse ........ after many txts and emails since saturday trying to get a day and time to pickup i got a response today and he says " i want more for my gun" so fuck him and the donkey he rode in on but apart from giving bad feedback and contacting TM about it i cant really force him to sell it to me so moving on.... have to start looking for another cheap 243 .....or something thereabouts

oh and the seller was "sebmeijer " so i advise anybody not to deal with him .

hold the line caller....there was a bloody ripper of a deal on 308 in Christchuch in last month.... new member with name of rustybucket??? or some such..will see if can find it.
