All of my .22 rifles wear an optic of some kind, with the exception being a old Winchester single shot

My .308 is the only real lightweight. It is a Savage UL, under 6 lbs without the scope and I have a light fixed 6x on it.

I have a 7mm-08, 6.5 CM and .308. I love the .280 but as much for the rifle as the cartridge. Mine is a Cooper and shoots spectacularly. The others are great too but if were to go after bigger game, like elk or moose, I would probably reach for the .280. I have handholds specifically for...

Speer Gold Dot, 124 grain

Home invasion - likely not. Home defense, i.e. roving mob - I think it very well might have a role there.

I have a RCBS Chargemaster and like it quite well. Much faster than hand weighing.

Just started to move to an optic. Now have one on my Hellcat, still getting used to it.

I had some Varget on hand so am trying that first. Hopefully will get a winner!

Maybe get a bullet comparator for your micrometer and make your handloads the same as your best shooting current load.

Some trial rounds of .308 using the 150 Speer Hot Cor

Very cool

Get hunting bullets, not match bullets. As suggested above, buy several different loads and see which shoots the best in your particular rifle. Inside 300 yards, if the tip is a bit deformed from loading, it will not matter.

My all time favorite hunting scope is the Leupold VX-3 in 2.5x8.

The shooting glasses from SSP work well with a magnifier in the top instead of the bottom of the glasses. And not very expensive.

Kahr PM9 or Kimber Micro 9

Ordered my first suppressor recently. Mainly for night time predator hunting. May leave it on for deer hunting, will see.

Most of my handguns have night sights but I have one red dot and CT grips on my snub nose J-frame

I agree, we have taken about 8 deer in the last few years with these bullets from the .350 Legend. Accurate, inexpensive and effective.

Interesting thread. I have read/own a number of books from those "old school" writers and still find their information and experiences interesting. Are there new techniques? Sure. Does that mean everything that has been previously written on shooting and self defense is obsolete, I don't...

Have a couple .350L for Iowa deer hunting. Very effective hunting round within the range you are talking about. I would take the .350 over the Blackout.
