mine is 168gr amax + IMR 4166 + Savage 10fcp + Vortex Viper scope
the rifle and scope is new haven't fired it yet and never used IMR4166 or the amax looking forward to kicking off summer

Good luck, A-max plus 308 plus powder seems to be a winning combination.

Yes.

• Load the 22 "excess" (ordered 500, got 522) .223 tracer rounds I posted about recently to see if I can 1) get them to ignite, and 2) not burn down the farm.
  
• Starting in late August, teach a retired Presbyterian minister how to reload before I retire.
  
• Relocating most of my reloading equipment to the family farm in anticipation of retirement.
• Relocating most of my reloading supplies, too.

I also have a bunch of gun-related but not reloading-related stuff to take care of incident to my retirement, but that's all the reloading stuff on the calendar right now.

I have unopened 1 Lb bottles of IMR-8208 and LT-32 I have not done anything with. I need to try both in .223 and .222 Mag. It would be a good summer project.

Looking forward to your results with the 168 gr A-Max and IMR-4166.

I have two, a 22x6.8 AR-15 and a 22 Bench Rest Savage Target action. Plans are to get them ready for a 2018 prairie dog hunt. Assembly of the Savage is not quite complete so some mechanical things need to be done before a round can be sent down range.

It would be nice to get the accuracy work done before the first of the year so that I can spend the first quarter forming cases and loading ammunition.
