THIS ONES FOR THE NON-BELIVERS. I do practice once a week 3 rounds at 100 yards 6 rounds at 250 3-5 rounds at 310. YES You do have to practice considerablybut honestly after a while you get the feel of the rifle and understand that controlled breath and steadyness is the key I do use a scope and a range finder but you can only trust a range finder so far.I use calculations from my mil dot as well as a wind meter. No im not a irresponsible hunter if I dont think I can hit it I dont shoot. Alot of presses out there its all in the powder and seating depth full sizing is for auto and semi autos ,bolts should be neck sized only!
You dont have to belive I just wanted some input.

Good for you, If you feel confident, go for it, I do not, so I don't. Don't disbeleive you, just gave my input.

There are many that use the .308 dia projectile as y'all have listed. But, to keep someone from possibly being missled a bit, there should be a correction to the listed calibers.

7.62X54r Russian, 7.65 Argentine, and .303 British are not .308. Those three are .311 / .312. diameter projectiles.

And my .310 Cadet measures .320! A 308 would rattle in that bore.

Why are 50 bmg so expensive "its nuts" armalite makes a nice one! grizzlies are cheap' but look pretty crude probably shoot crude anyone shot a grizzly 50 cal ?bmg . Going out shooting at the rifle range most people fire several rounds through their rifle sighting in their scope. When you heat up your barrel it wanders not enough at close distance to notice say 30 or 50 yards but on distance shots you relly notice! So you fire your rifle once let it cool down swab it fire it again thus cold fire in the short! Input

Is hooking your rifle up to a vise and shooting it ;realy shooting I dont think so!

I must have been thinking of another little English cartridge, will have to dig out my books and look it up. thank you for the correction.

I know what you are talking about now, had never heard that term before. The first shot from a cold barrel is the one that counts. I have never had to shoot a "group" at a game animal, but a few have required more than one to keep them down.
