Just put a bid on a 308 on Gunbroker. We will see if my highest price will be able to hold off the last minute bidders. Auction ends tomorrow night.
Update. A couple of others wanted it more than me. Still has a day to go.
I see they did add a few new ones overnight, they must have read our post. That 125gr Partition in 6.5 looks interesting. Might have to try that in my Swede and 260
Talked to Paul (Gunsmith) yesterday and my barrel finally came in. Said he would get it spun up shortly and the new trigger installed and assembled . Picked up a bunch of 165gr seconds from Nosler recently . Will have to get to the reloading bench soon to work up some loads.
I have hunted them in GA and AZ. Used my 11-87 12 gauge with an improved cylinder and whatever shells were left over from dove season. I always liked the ones that flew from between your feet the best. Always a fun bird to hunt.
Luckily I never developed a load with Alliant powders. Got some RL22 once years ago and never worked up a load for my 257 Weatherby with it. Used it to get a few scopes on paper for n different guns. Mainly use Hodgdon powders in all my guns.
I am covered from .17 to .30 and then make a big leap to .458 . I want a lever in .35 . Since i I never plan to hunt anywhere out of the State (WV) I really don’t need anymore large caliber/long range guns in the line up.
