    R700 AAc-SD/ best factory ammo

    What factory ammo would you buy to shoot and keep the brass for reloading. I will be reloading the brass and want to buy good stuff to start with. I don't want to try different factory loads so the brass stays consistent. I've seen good load recipes on here so that part will be easy.

    I have an old excellent shape Ruger M77 in.35 Whelen. Would it be worth putting a new precision .30'06 barrel in 5R rifling on this action? Would it fit the bill of all the new trendy .308? It sits in a very nice HS Precision stock. FYI: I have a great M1 Garand in 30'06 that it would...

    Rather than spending $1000 + on a new .308 rifle

    I have an almost new Ruger M77 .35 Whelen. Would it be worth putting a new precision 30'06 barrel in 5R rifling on this action. Would it fit the bill of all the new .308 trendy rifles? It sits in a very nice HS stock. Is the Ruger action accurate enough to put money into?
