That will do nicely ! Welcome to the 308, it's a favorite of mine for deer hunting and very easy to find accurate loads for.

I've had at least one 308 in the safe since 1984. At one point I had three, now I'm down to two. A buddy and I were talking over the weekend about loading for and shooting the 308. We both said " If it won't shoot 175 Sierra MatchKings and 44-45 grs of Varget there is something wrong with the...

I use WC872. It's a military ball powder used to load 50 BMG and 20mm Vulcan ammo. I got it from Weidner's for $49.00 an 8 lb keg. Use H870 data with it. Not the cleanest burning stuff but I'm running 130 Accubonds at 3350 with an E.S. of 9 130 Bergers were going 3400

Thank you Sir !

358 Norma Mag 200 gr Barnes TSX Thanks in advance. Howard

I was afraid you were gonna say that. Think my smith screwed up chambering barrel, cut the throat too long.

Looks good so far . What twist rate is your barrel ? I had a 260AI built with an 8.5 twist that is giving me fits....

Well, it damn sure don't recoil like a 22-250 . Yeah, I've got a pile of 155/165/168 match bullets at the house. Can't wait to shoot her again.

The Garand is a good shooter. Got to the range yesterday with Creedmore in tow. Did the barrel break in while I was getting the rifle sighted POA at 100 yards. Creed starts giggling looking at my target through his scope. Seems to like 168 Custom Comps on top of 46.8 grs of BLC2 3 shots off...

I hear ya. And yes an M1A is on the list too

Thanks Gents. Scotty that is what's called a CMP special. Basically a GI receiver that all the internals have been gone through, new barrel installed. They refinish everything and put new walnut stocks on them. A little over $1k for a basically new Garand. I've been watching various websites...

Lots of 45 Colt ammo, about 5k rounds. A bunch of 44 Mag ammo, about 5k rounds. 10k 22lr Got about 1000 various handloads in 308 for two bolt guns. Currently have around 2500 reloads for ARs w 75 gr BTHPs and I just picked up 7k processed cases and 6k Hornady 55gr FMJBTs Hunting rifles? I keep...

Ordered it from CMP on 5/14. Got it yesterday via FedEx straight to my office. Springfield Armory receiver, new Criterion barrel. Guess I better get some 06 ammo loaded this week :mrgreen: Oh and Creedmore didn't have anything to with this.

GM top engine cleaner mixed 50/50 with Kroil . The top engine cleaner was designed to remove carbon. Problem is GM quit making TEC years ago and I'm nearly out. Been experimenting with Butch's and Kroil mixed together. Does a pretty good job.

Jeremiah Johnson is one of my all time favorite movies too ! '" Pilgrim, an elk ain't got no idea how many legs a horse has " You're gonna love that Tikka. I've got a 1/8 T3 Lite in blue that I won in a raffle. It's light, handy and gets thrown in the truck ALOT when we're out and about...

The only bull I've killed came out of Routt. That was back in '83 so I'm sure a lot has changed. We came up north out of Hayden and backpacked into the area around Baldy. It's wilderness area so you are on foot. Lots of elk and lots of orange army in the area. We typically stayed in small...

Varget works well in the 223 just as it does in the 308. I'm loading on a Dillon 650 so I went with Benchmark because it meters well through a progressive. 22.5 grs in Mil brass with 75 gr Hornady BTHPs shoots very well out of all 4 of my ARs but they all have 7 or 8 twist barrels. Shot some 55...

I've got a Tikka T3 with a 1/8 barrel on it. It likes 55 gr NBTSs on top of Varget. Also shoots 65 gr Sierra Gamekings VERY well on top of BLC2

That is GORGEOUS !!!! 165's and the '06 make great whitetail medicine.

I remember boiling the belt buckles in vinegar to get the lacquer off of them before polishing w Brasso.
