    Greetings All, In another thread I talked about my simple methods for validating load data. The cartridge was the .260 Rem with the 140 grain plus projectiles and AR2209 powder. I have started a new...

    Grey Kiwi liked post by grandpamac On thread : Selection of caliber for new shooter(s)
    Greetings. After reading Grey Kiwi's post recommending the .30-30 it crossed my mind that the .308 can easily be downloaded with AR2206H to .30-30 velocity. Only a Lee Loader and perhaps a hand...

    Greetings, I suggest you repeat the test with a better aiming mark. A hollow square or circle that you can quarter with your cross hairs will work a lot better. Also consider zeroing at 200 metres....

    TimC liked post by grandpamac On thread : 7mmRem Mag or 7mm08. Pros vs cons. Looking to shoot anywhere from 100m to 350
    Greetings, Get the 7mm-08. Much less drama to load for and more than adequate for 350 metres. Any of the other cartridges of that capacity from the 6.5's up to the .308 would be just as good. GPM.
