Hi All, just an intro as it is my first post, I have been shooting and reloading since I was 13 years old, if the maths works out that was 1969, and yes I still remember when Myer and K Mart used to sell guns!! I don't think I am too bad a shot as I have a 1980 Winchester .222 medium weight sporter XTR 70,(bought new from Bob Schwartz (Peter Schwartz - Gunsmith's father) both great blokes) fitted with a fixed power Weaver K10, a Harris Bi-Pod, and with individually to the 10th grain weighed hand loads I can confidently head shoot rabbits out to 250 meters. If I miss it's me not the gun!! we all have our failings sometime.
Now the intro is over just a request for 2 caliber comments.
1. 303-25 I love this caliber, I have 2 rifles chambered a re-barrelled SMLE and a re barrelled P14. The P14 is a 100 yard tack holer,clover leafing on the target,the SMLE not to far behind 10 to 15 mm. The 6.5 cal is starting to interest me should I upgrade ?? if so what (don't want Creedmore).
2. I recently purchased an old Savage Model 99A in .308 Winchester, the barrel in great condition, I have a Weaver 2.5 to 7 wide view scope to go on, thoughts of this combination as a deer rifle??.
Regards to all, let's protect our sport
