I am looking for a 300 win mag. I have read up on some of the pros cons for both. What do you think would be the best bang for the buck Sako or Kimber?
Thanks for the information
When are bullet manufactures going to start producing a variety pack for test load purposes? Is there some out there I just haven’t found yet?
I have a Tikka 22-250 with a 1 in 14 twist will it stabilize a 60gr Accubond or a Partition?
