    I don't know you anymore? Reloading a hassle?? The only time I am more relaxed is lying with my back against a handy rock, on a crisp West Coast day, glassing for big bucks or bulls.
    Smiddy and Toby like this.

    The 22 243 is the comparison avoiding the 220 Swift clamour and if plain vanilla all you need is one swipe of the bushing die and you are there. Yes this latter is in the making.Alternatively a 8 twist in 22 250 and you are close. Very good article some issues back in NZ Guns and Hunting by Peter Clark on these calibre's and twists.Just loading soon some 270 brass with Barnes 130's for a friend who is to use them on the wild East Coast bulls. Forgot how big those cases were.My first rifle was the 270 and what a great deer slayer but the boot and as Charlie Janes would say the "Kaboom".Who needs it.Small is good in our world and lethally so.

    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts
