Maybe I'm a Pollyanna, but would rather be a glass half-full person than half empty. I just reckon it seems a positive change compared to the previous situation. Oh well......

In regards to the 6.5 x 55 i use the 308 size shell holders. Luckily the only chambering they don't fit is the 204. I have another set for my 300nm. I wouldn't be with out them as once I listened...

I use spacer washers like Skip's Shims. I cutthem out from an old soft drink or beer can. The alloy of the beer/soft drink can wall is 0.004" thick.

Hi GPM I have had the Redding Competition Shell Holders set to suit the 308 family for about 15 years. I was a bit disappointed in them eg the +4 and +6 have only 1 thou difference between them...

Other than using MOA/inches as a rough idea of group size I don't use them for anything else. As I always have a range finder there is no need to trying ranging a target with the reticle, and every...

Thanks chainsaw. Guncity didn’t have any 280 at all today and 3006 was low. Tons of 308, 270 and a bit of 6.5 in store with another shipment from Hornady due in 4 weeks. I didn’t check 7mm rem mag,...

Thanks Beetroot. The CTR in 6.5 with a 24 inch barrel seems to be getting a lot of love from what I’ve read. I do like the look of the new T3x super Varmint in the rough tech stock as it’s also...
