4. Don’t get wadded up on ballistics. Are you a hunter or target shooter - define this & set up accordingly.
5. Indeed, headstamps don’t matter but having a .264 & .308 bullet launcher isn’t a bad idea.
6. Do what you want cuz why wouldn’t you?
7. Once you have ammo - worry WAY more about putting a slug where it needs to go.
8. Practice and don’t ever stop. Ever. You owe it to the animal & yourself.
9. Start reloading. Even a basic simple setup. It’s good for the mind & wallet.
10. Be happy & prosper.


Haha
Way to ruin a perfectly good, insult tossing, name calling, off track rabbit hole diving thread! (Hint)(laughing)
