It occurred to me the other day that with a suitable scoped bolt-action .308, a selection of reloading tools, powder, primers, bullets and cases, I could do just about everything I want done with a rifle. I picked a .308 because cases are cheap and available everywhere, and because it can get close to the old standby .30-06 in power with the right loads.
I have the reloading stuff. All I'd really need in bullets would be some pulled 110 grain carbine pills for varmint loads. I even have some .30 caliber lead round nose bullets already on the shelf for those .22 simulation rounds.
The reloading part of the exercise would be interesting for a while, but I don't think I'd ever really try and do this. The reason not to: variety. I like to mess around with actual .22 rifles, plink with an M1 Carbine, and shoot a semi-auto (or two, or three) in rifle matches.
Would anyone else here really prefer to work one rifle up into an everything rifle?
