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.

Greetings Beetroot and gimp, Thanks for your reply. I am just as allergic to squandering components as you. The point I was trying to make, clearly not that well, is that starting with loads close...

Greetings, I think I would start a bit lower than that. 42 grains of AR2209 is Hodgdon book max for the 140 grain and there have been some variations in speed with AR2209 I would start at 40 grains...

Greetings, Fear not, it is a .308. 2,500 to 2,600 fps is right in the middle of the Goldilocks zone where standard projectiles neither fail to expand or fly to pieces at their first contact with...
