    Who/When should someone buy QL?

    Thanks for the reply, I had the same thought about it paying for itself with savings on components, I’ve pretty much convinced myself that I should get it just looking for confirmation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Who/When should someone buy QL?

    I am thinking about getting quickload to help with developing a couple loads for my 308 that has a long throat. OAL with 168TTSX touching the lands is 2.995, so seating the bullet to .05 off lands as Barns recommends gives me an OAL of 2.945. That is going to leave me with a bit more case...

    308 vs 338 Federal for Elk <450 yds

    Thanks, I understand that any of the 3 (06, 308, 338 fed) do not have the horsepower to take strong quartering shots unless the animal is right on top of me. As I was saying to Guy, my goal is to get within 300 but in the right situation I wouldn’t be scared to push out to 400. When...

    308 vs 338 Federal for Elk <450 yds

    Guy, I agree 450 is a long shot and not my norm. My goal has always been to get within 300 but in the right situation I am comfortable at 400. When I use calculators I always use 450-500 just to have plenary of margin in velocity and kinetic energy. Matt Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    308 vs 338 Federal for Elk <450 yds

    Thanks for all the replies. I am definitely part of the 30-06 fan club and think it is plenary for most all reasonable situations in NA. when I first got the 308 and started working up loads I found that I could get very similar velocities will the same bullets with the added benefit of a...

    308 vs 338 Federal for Elk <450 yds

    Hello all, I am a new member sorry for the long winded first post but I would like to ask a question that I was unable to find an answer to by searching the previous posts. Back when the 338 Federal came out my uncles jumped on the bandwagon and tried to get me to get one as well. Their...
