Somebody is going to be happy in the next couple of weeks.
I am not going to share user name or what it is.
Maybe he will share with everyone in the near future.
You just need multiple barrel blanks, in multiple calibers, multiple stocks, and several actions on hand...Step it up guys 😇 :ROFLMAO:
High quantities of on hand: Quality brass, bullets, powder, and primers are a given, but I listed it here anyway:cool:

308's are pretty easy to load for.

I have three 308 Winchester rigs.

You may want to experiment with a mandrel to expand.
Use a Wilson type seat die with a arbor press.
Main thing is what it is doing on the target consistently
On deer sized game, I don't think it matters, even going up in size, the 165 being bonded will handle it, and the 180 BT should work as well...Shooter's Choice!
I use Salmon River myself, and I like light trigger and quality muzzle brakes.
Borden clone Alpine XP-100 action, 25-284 (7.5T) Bartlein Carbon barrel, Dell trigger (Under a pound), Holland Radial baffle brake, and a shortened SRS rail.
