| match grade .308 ammo I am looking to pick up some matchgrade .308 ammo. Just wondering what your exeriences have been with different ammos. Ive been putting 150gr winchester powerpoints through my savage 10fp just so i can get a feel for the gun, but its not giving me the accuracy i want at 200yards+ i was looking at the Hornady A-max and Hollow Points. Any other suggestions out there? |

| The cost of ammo alone these days and in the future is about enough to start reloading and make it worth while. MHO of course.

| Why in hell would anyone ever shoot a turkey buzzard?They are natures cleanup and garbage collectors.People that kill scavengers like them,which never harm anything and only clean up stinky messes,are the ones that give varminters/hunters a bad name.I wish they could all be caught and prosicuted to the full extent of the law. sam. |

| eh, i just want to snag one, i dont want to kill them all. i have a questions that doesnt deserve its own thread so ill just ask it here. After about 20-30rd through my .308 im shoulder gets pretty sore, what type of recoil pad/stock would you suggest to lower the amount of recoil going to my shoulder so its much more pleasant for me to shoot and i can shoot longer! |
