    Moa Hunter liked post by WallyR On thread : What caliber are you shooting F-Open with?
    I like old stuff (including the missus) - 260 Rem, 6.5x55, 7-08, 7x57, et al. IF we ever get some heavy for calibre 6mm/243 bullets in NZ, I might look into this - once again 'old school' calibres....

    Dundee Got a Stirling 1400 w/2.5X cheapie given to me by BIL. Shoots better than I can, with whatever I feed it. Most shots under 75 M though.

    Even the powder manufacturers recommend re-establishing powder weights if using a different lot #.
