i started with a rossi92 in 44mag as it was my 1st pistol cartridge, but after winning a sbl 45-70 in a 4h raffle if has become mine and the family's favorite. r92 44mag, sbl, cb (both are 45-70) and blr (270win)is all i have for now, but wanting to add more too the pot
cartridges and/or...
i was a little afraid of the 308win when i was young and not really sure why? maybe is was just a 30cal mentality? my dad never owned anything larger than the 270win, but did buy a 264wm a few years before that. i was shooting the 264wm starting at 11yo (48 years ago). i didn't buy any...
that's the only downfall is that it won't work on straightwalls. the trimmer does have a learning curve on pressure both forward and side to keep it square.
Dead as in available ammo or commercial chambered firearms? Some people don't want to be short and fat;) and would rather be tall and lean. It's a great cartridge for an in between 308win and super magnums. 300wsm is going to be my (or 1 of my next) ar or switch barrel cartridges...
I really want a 6dash or 6br(bra/brx) for an ar15 to have a small frame to go with my ar10 243win . Now I need to decide on which 22cal for the larger frame to companion the 5.56
do you want a manbun or a big boy gun..............if you don't shoot it every month and/or 400-500 rounds per year, then 28n should last you a long time. i'm on a get another 28cal wagon to fill something bigger than the 7-08 and 7saum i have now. 7rm doesn't get me much more than the saum...
I haven't tried their data as I rarely to never have the same brass and/or primers. I mainly shot Sierra's from '84 to '14 when I only shot and reloaded for 3 cartridges (44mag, 264WM & 270win). Good to know about Hodgdon though!
