Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies. Ain’t easy havin pals.

Only have the one FC, but it’s been easy-peasy so far. I call it the .243 DR, for Done Right. Fine looking rifle. What fresh Hell is this?

Pappy, Do you have any secret loads you'd care to divulge? No secrets; 95gr BTs or LRXs over H4350 or StaBall 6.5. Don’t need to push very hard around here, and the Fieldcraft is pretty easy to please and puts any of it pretty much in the same place. I’ve yet to kill anything with it but a couple of foxes, but my son borrowed it to shoot a deer a couple of years ago on a nearby farm. A pleasant surprise was the 100 rounds of Norma 107gr Match ammo for $21 a box. Shoots very well and I’ll have some nice brass when it’s gone. What fresh Hell is this?

Much the same here as my FC seems to shoot factory and handloads all well but I do like the 95 LRX over RL16. The LRX has acounted for a couple wolves and a caribou. RL16 seems about interchangeable with H4350.
