I run the 168gr NBT in my rifle with a book max load of Varget . Prints right at 3/4 inch. It was the first load I tried and didn’t go any further with load development since season was already in. Varget is always a good choice for the 308.
I lived in WNC about 20 years ago. There is plenty of area around there to hunt mostly mountains. We have family in the Asheville area and it’s super liberal. A Gay Soldier I served with called it the SanFrancisco of the east coast. Property is expensive in that area as well and traffic is crazy.
I agree, all the ladies in my family love the way the 5 inch 1911 in 9mm feels. For me it’s just not as comfortable to carry as a 4.25 inch 1911 with my style of concealed carry.
I like the Ronin. I got the 5 inch model in 9mm . Great shooting pistol. Looking at the 4.25 inch gear pac now, it comes with factory red dot and 3 mags.
I carried my Kimber in with me and compared them side by side. I also looked at a Springfield TRP in 9mm but didn’t like that little cut off angle at the bottom of the grip/mag well. Maybe I just need to look for a Kimber with the optic cut slide. The hand wants what the hand wants no matter...
I plan on getting rid of several of my guns this coming year. I would like a fast twist 6mm or 25 cal. Maybe Ruger will do a #1 in a caliber that catches my eye this year.
I have both the partition and accubond bullets on hand. Hope to get some range time after the first of the year.

Just ordered a couple hundred of the Nosler BSB 100gr to try also. They should work in at least one of my 243/6MM’s
Forgot to report back on my rifle after a range trip in mid November. I threw together a load using 168gr Ballistic tips and a max load of Varget. After following barrel break in procedures from X-caliber the load shot right at 3/4 inch at 100 yards. Well pleased with the rebarell on this #1.
Took Fritz for a walk this morning after the snow stopped. Grabbed my rifle since antlerless season is in here in WV and we headed down an old logging road behind the house. Once we got down in the holler I looked up and saw a doe coming down the hill toward us. We quickly tucked in behind a...
