double.

My take is that this is a niche market driven more by buying trends than material costs, wars etc., except prices generally increase. How do you think all this 'money printing' will effect inflation in the future, including bullets? We're not talking about basic needs such as energy...

Swampy, Hope you mean "9 1/8" is OK:D cause I'm gonna buy some 105 VLD's and try them out at 600, my ranges max.

I have to go with this. Otherwise enlist, train and shoot whatever SOCOM provides you with.

I have a Rem 700 and a Savage in .243. If you want to go heavy, 100 or over, I'd go with the 1 in 9 or faster. 1 in 10 and slower is for lighter, small game or shorter range target loads, so I've heard. Depends on your application.

Can't say for sure if this is the reason, but the stock can shatter into a bunch of little pieces, when cold, if you hit something with it.

Opinion: After cleaning, spray 'Rem Oil' down the bore. Patch wipe before shooting.

Pull the bolt and clean from the chamber towards the muzzle. Don't be afraid to use a brass brush 3 to 5 times after allowing a good bore cleaner to 'set' for about a half hour, then patch it out somewhat clean. If you're using corrosive ammo, same deal, except flush the bore with water...

The question of scale weight vs. volume has been adressed many, many times in this forum and it always ends up in many, many opinions. Pure water is easy: 1 gm = 1 cc . Gunpowder? no solution. Stay under the the published scale weight load, take all special precautions for gas guns and...

Unless you REALLY know what you're doing, only buy from CMP.

Too kind.

If you can't go for a 1010, then the 505 is your best choice. After many years with a 505, I finally bought the 1010. The 505 did a fine job but I wanted the range and couterweight system of the 1010. It was well worth it to me.

I realize your trying to keep it as simple as possible, but a can of IMR 4350 for the 243 and IMR 4895 for the 30 06 and you're covered.

Note it states beryllium copper. Pure solid copper bullets are OK and Magtech solid copper bullets are available from Midway for example. Apparently the purpose is for use on 'lead free' ranges. I don't know about any state law, but I can envision the EPA jumping on this and requiring...

They're 243 Win Power Shok. I've got another box of the Federal so I'll try them mixed in the mag.
