Thread: Reloading .308

Probably stocking up for the zombie apocalypse. Their garages must just about full by now so things should return to normal by the end of the year based on previous cycles. One of the funniest things I have seen on TV was an episode of Doomsday Preppers where the prepper shot himself with his 10-22 and had to be helicoptered to hospital. In a survival situation he would have been dead in three days. Most of the rest would have been dead in 3 weeks. Off topic I know but couldn't help myself. In penance I offer the following. For the .308W you could probably load a 150 grain flat base soft point ahead of 44 grains of AR2206H and have an accurate round in 99.9% of .308 rifles and never want for anything more for 90 % of NZ hunting. It just wouldn't be as much fun.
