I am just starting out, and have some fundamental questions. When I start out, I will be plinking and not really focusing on max accuracy. I want to load, get experience, and have fun. In preparation for reloading, for about 6 years I have been squirreling away primers, cases, some bullets...

Going to get a 243 for varmits. Heard lots about the Savage as being very accurate out of the box. But I cannot find one around Frederick MD. Did find a Rem 700. How accurate is the Rem 700? Cost is a big factor. Thx

I used to shoot some 30 years ago, and am now getting back into it. Was out the other day with my 30-06, 8mm, and 22 rifles with my 22 and 45 pistols. Had a great time. One question- I would like a rifle as inexpensive to shoot as a 22, and with less recoil than the ‘06/8mm. I keep hearing...
