I am here to stay. I love the .223, and most of my military brass has bee swagged with the Swag600.
I spoke to my wife, and she has agreed to let me bring my loading bench into the house where we have some space on the tile floor so I can stay out of the heat. Time to get the 550B to rolling again. I have so many supplies around that need to be put together.
The .223 has done me well through the years on target, deer, coyotes, and crows. I don't see a pistol caliber carbine being as versatile as the .223/5.56.
As far as the .25-06, rcmodel was a good man to speak up. That has become my go to deer rifle, and even though the type of rounds I like to shoot through it are becoming harder to find versus .270 or .308 Win. I'll just have to keep working on the loads to get them within what I consider close to what the factory Winchester Supreme 115 grain loads do. I have a bunch of 115 coated Combined Technology bullets, and I have a bunch of 100 grain Nosler Ballistic Tips. So I can give it a good try. Not to mention that I have 500 85 grain soft points that I have never loaded. I have never shot anything but the 115 grain out of this gun so maybe the 100 grain or 85 grain bullets may be easier to load.
My hunch is to get the accuracy I want out of my .25-06 I'll have to give up on IMR 4350 and Reloder 19, and find me a pound of Winchester 780 Supreme.
Thanks for the conversation fellow THR members. I almost screwed myself into a lifetime of regret. I'll just keep what I got, and if money allows build on that.
