    Floundering Around liked post by grandpamac On thread : .270 is the best caliber ever made.

    Nakihunter liked post by grandpamac On thread : Model 7/ 7-m08 reloading

    Or you could take a leaf of the old German target shooters book and just hand seat without a crimp. It depends on whether you just want to use the rifle on the range or not. You might need to fiddle...
