    Greetings all, Back in the 1970's I bought my first new rifle. It came down to a choice between a Rem 700 in .308 and a .270 in .270. I knew next to nothing about cartridges. The price for the .308...

    Greetings, Out of interest I went out and measured a couple of R-P new .223 cases out of my stash. They measured 44.52mm or a bit shorter than the cartridge max of 44.7mm. I trim cases every load...

    Greetings blip and all, I have worked with the 6.5-06 quite a bit and it is a great cartridge. It is, however, a handloading proposition and not for the novice either. It was briefly a factory...
