    M40A1 Loads and the SMK 175 BTHP.

    Who has an M40A1 and hand loads for it? Lets keep this for that specific rifle and maybe the A3. I am starting fresh after a 10 year hiatus.

    I agree. Maybe there should be a "Clone" Military sniper rifle section. Not just limited to vintage. The build guides, information and picture threads can be stickied.
