Igloo,
I bought the Russian Ranch to be a downloaded .308 that would work out to 200 yards. It's accurate in a good gun and I'm buying boxer primed, brass cased, Norma Tactical for $9.50 or so a box making it a relatively cheap practice gun. The only handload I've tried out of it so far will group five Hornady 123gr. SPs into and inch at 100.
If I didn't already have 800 rounds of the Norma ammo, Target Sports USA has the Belom boxer/brass cased ammo for $8.99 a box.
And having said all that, I'd still like to give the 6.5 Grendel a try.
Thanks!
Sounds like we're all just gonna end up with both anyway!
