    Marlin BA 223. I've since fitted a Leupold 3-9×40 and given a bit of a paint job. I think that was my first fox with the 223. Just amazing value and shoots waaayy better than I can. 274414

    Often wondered about the concern that container has started to rust. Just proves its an old container. I'm with you, concern yourself with the condition of the powder.

    Just to add to above. Didn't go so well when I was younger. For many reasons but mainly not being able to put in the time. BUT, I reckon slowing down has help a LOT.

    270 & 308 are both very good. But consider the 30.06, it's betterrer. Lol
