Store-brand Annie's?I just hunted up a box of Amy's Mac,n Cheese. Added crabmeat and plenty of cayenne. Delish.
I stand corrected. But to be fair, the exit wound damaged the box to a point that made it difficult to identify.Store-brand Annie's?
Was it charging you? Are you going to eat it?I just downed a maple leaf on the first shot.
30 06 howa game king. Shooting custom loads 150 grain hornady sst's loaded to max length and max load. Can drill a hole at 400 yards with ease.Cool! I would like to try hunting some time, but I dont have anyone to take me, and there is no way in hell I am going alone (i wouldn't know what to do anyways).
Specs on rifle? I want to build a bolt gun in 6.5CM and get into long range shooting. I ask some locals for some help from time to time and they just write me off.. I guess this is going to be another 'learning experience'.
wha??? all of the components for 6.5cm are readily available and it is regulated by saami.and for Gods sake stay away from oddball calibers like a 6.5... Stick with something that has common components and a caliber that is regulated by saami.
Depends on where you are. Although I must admit, the 6.5cm is gaining in popularity fast... You can get projectiles here, but good luck on brass... Think I came across wrong with what I was saying a little, was not trying to say the cm was not regulated by saami, just to watch out for calibers that are not. Like my 8mm... You can find three different action sizes, and four different barrel diameters....wha??? all of the components for 6.5cm are readily available and it is regulated by saami.
and if you dont want to reload 6.5cm, match ammo can be found cheaper than a lot of 308win rounds

finding reloading components here is no problem for nearly every caliber but youll pay a ton more to buy local. my FiL and I really only buy primers and powder local since there is usually such a high haz-mat fee for shipping it. a 6.5cm rifle is my next purchase and finding brass and bullets online hasnt been an issue.Depends on where you are.

Any rifle round is easy to load, and as far as learning, get two or three reloading books, read them over and over, it is not a hard task to accomplish.I have only heard good things about the 30 06. I have one on my keychain as well.
Loading is something I have wanted to get into for a while, but alas, the one person who is willing to show me does it during the week while I am working; I need to get with him on a date and time.
I have been told that 6.5CM is (somewhat of) an easy caliber to load, from what I can tell, it looks like a round that is gaining popularity. Although, I am sure you know much more about it than I do.
Not sure about range. I shot at 100 yards this last weekend for the first time and it was okay (just a cheap ar with some 556). I would like to do 400+ if possible; what range would you recommend I start at?
Wish I could find my 8mm brass instead of cutting down 30 06 and 270 brass.finding reloading components here is no problem for nearly every caliber but youll pay a ton more to buy local. my FiL and I really only buy primers and powder local since there is usually such a high haz-mat fee for shipping it. a 6.5cm rifle is my next purchase and finding brass and bullets online hasnt been an issue.
new reloaders should stay away from wildcat cartridges until they learn moar IMO. and if you really want to k.i.s.s., go with a 308
