    308 vs. 7.5x55

    Hiya folks, last Friday I purchased a Remington 700 5R and while reloading for it I started comparing the 308 load to my trusty 7.5x55 Swiss. What's your opinion on how the two loads compare? Pros, cons?

    For my new 5R

    Gents, tomorrow my Remington 5R should arrive and would like to reload for it. Do you have any proven recipes you'd like to suggest? I ordered Sierra MatchKing Bullets at 168 and 175 Grain Hollow Point Boat Tail, Lapua brass, the Lee neck size dies, and a 308 trimmer. I already have WC 852...
