I'm at 260/123's.......

What say the masses?


I have to go with the classic western vs some of the "newish" sexier combos. Here is the reason why. In the past 15 or so years the industry has seen at least two shortages of ammunition and reloading components. In that time, I would take what I could find and make it work. I could always find 30-06, 270, 0r 243 brass. I could usually find some kind of .308, .277, or .243 bullet decent enough for a (non-California) hunt. Never loaded H414 until it was the only powder I could find.

For my money the most for least has always come down to what can I find ammo for today? YMMV


Remember, not everyone has a happy ending, so be happy when you can
