Thread: First Rifle For Lad

Before I do anything, I'll try and track down some different sizes and get him to send some lead down. Got a few options to work on at this stage. Cheers all

It is a good offer. Bare in mind as you go along your journey and inevitably start reloading (its a great father and son activity) that 2209 will work in most common calibers. 243, 6.5, 270, 7-08, 30.06. Its not so commonly used in 308. Maybe you should grab some and store it while the offer is going?

To make the most of reloading, you probably need to shoot more than 40 shots in 25 yrs. With his interest now becoming an obsession, I guess I should start looking down this avenue. This time last year, I was still on the original packet. Had only put 15 through it, 5 of which were on paper
