    Yes that'S what they're for mate. If you want to shoot F/TR you'll need it in 308. Otherwise 6-5 Cr has the advantage. They're a bit heavy for offhand Shooting or hunting. The Key is to get...

    So .. To sound all accountanty, back of the envelope that's about 1000 brass before it breaks even. Assuming you anneal every 5 shots instead of throwing away, that's 5000 rounds. The AMP costs...

    Ben.NZ liked post by Bagheera On thread : First Rifle Setup (need advice)
    A-rule of thumb is that the Scope can be the same cost as the rifle. I would go for the Leupold VX-1 3-9x40 and try to economise on the gun. Good mounts are also essential so budget $100-200 for...
