    308 or 260 for tacticalrifle

    Re: 308 or 260 for tacticalrifle As said before...if its for duty, stick with the norm, AKA the .308. If you find yourself in civil court because of its use, it will be hard to explain why you are deviating from what the standard is. B.

    Re: Synthetic bag fill material source Or you could go to the kids dept. at Wally World, find one of those really light fluffy style pillows, cut it open and use the fill. I've done two that way with pillows that my kids tore up. The stuff is light and works great! B.
