Had one stolen in 1985. Never really finished developing a relationship with it's potential!
Saw this one come up on one of sponsors site a few months ago. Bought it, e-mail, right away. Almost like an item on the tv sales channels - 6 left @ $xx.xx with x months to pay.
$300 US !!! NO IMPORT FEES. $400 our Cnd pesos. Great deal for a 'love or leave them configuration', in an obsolete cartridge!
Love it.
Going to scope it & play with reloads next year.
Still have some of that old 'special rem 308 small primer pocket' brass that I've formed and prepped. Might need to turn necks even though this brass was made for forming without turning required. Can't remember back to 1984 whether I used the Forster or not.
Anybody reloaded this obsolete cartridge recently? Probably not but would love to hear suggestions. Only looking for group accuracy. Care to share?
Back in the day we were using 168gr bullets for Metallic Silhouette. Used the bible of the time - 'Reloading Guide for Handgun Accuracy' (1982). Compilation of winning reloading data for the calibres and classes.
