Another vote for Belding and Mull.

If you are just looking for something for "just in case" and not for TEOTWAWKI scenerios for a different sort of suggestion, how about a good old 30-30. Think about it, ballistics are equivalent to a 7.62X39. One of the really nice things about them is that a lever action 30-30 lacks any social...

Think of it this way, you found out, for a fairly low price, that those people are liars and cheats. Might sound harsh but it is what it amounts to.

I am looking for a pistol smith to do some 1911 work for me. There is no one local so I thought I look for recomendations for some where to ship off to. Price and time for the work to get done matter, but quality of work is the most important. Thanks.

A thought, why not trim to loading manual case length, then seat the bullet out a little farther so it is where you want it in realtion to the lands? Good luck, Ron

30-30 You can buy new boxer primed loaded ammo that you can reload later when you do start reloading quite cheap at the discount sporting goods stores. The recoil is there, but it won't be as bad as the 308 you are planning on and heck, even a slip on recoil pad will relieve that a large...
