    So, where do I go from here? .223 change in reload method.

    Nothing flattened, no pressure. When I worked the "old" load using the polished eball, I had 23.8/9 in there, the 24 was the most consistent. Appears the same here, just lower velocity. I think I might order a .221 mandrel from 21st CI and try it, then run it.

    Well, able to get out to 300 today, wind and mirage was a tad tricky, just held center on them. I'm inclined to say 24? Thinking I hit a valley on a couple shots with the wind.

    7mm-08 vs 308 hunting

    In my experiences, you will be a happier person in the long run by having two rifles, one for hunting and the other set up for the long range. For the hunting, pick one, both are great with tons of choices in ammo, I would save time and money by staying with factory ammunition, you don't need...

    So, where do I go from here? .223 change in reload method.

    Okie, for my purposes, the old and new is just for the loads themselves, all bullets are the same, recent purchases. Just casual shooting, 100, 200, 300 and 600/628. Yeah, I plan to load some more and shoot at 200/300 to see vertical better, maybe at 600 if mirage isn't bad. I did originally...

    I thought about it, then I want to limit how deep I go, besides, I have an eight pound jug of Varget. I may fiddle with the neck cleaning and tweak the powder for now, maybe try the .221 mandrel.

    So, where do I go from here? .223 change in reload method.

    Oh-I dry tumbled again after the sizing, so no powder sticking in the necks. Caution used removing from the tumbler-by hand, no shaking, etc. I might do another batch and not brush inside. I know I must have less neck tension due to the velocity loss, hence thinking on the .221 mandrel. Other...

    New rifle case for ATX with folder? Triad/AIM

    Without a brake, I can squeeze a 24" AI with folder into an Eagle US made M4 Drag Bag, wish they still made them.

    New rifle case for ATX with folder? Triad/AIM

    I actually ended up with the 52" Armageddon bag since I added a 6BR barrel with brake. The Savior's are ok but heavy, plus I wanted to stay with a USA made product.

    AT-x--6BR magazines?

    Although expensive, my GO mags/ATX combo is good to go once adjusted.

    Rifle Case

    I went with one of these, it carries what I need and nothing more. I got tired of the cases that are full of pockets to carry the kitchen sink, to bulky, heavy and a general pain in the ass. https://www.eurooptic.com/armageddon-52-precision-rifle-case-ranger-green-ag0546-rg
