Thread: Selection of caliber for new shooter(s)

Greetings.
After reading @Grey Kiwi's post recommending the .30-30 it crossed my mind that the .308 can easily be downloaded with AR2206H to .30-30 velocity. Only a Lee Loader and perhaps a hand priming tool would be needed as the cases will never need full length sizing. You could use the cases from full power factory loads to load the light loads, The rifle would need to be re zeroed when changing from one load to the other but you can do this with a dial up scope without having to go to the range. You would still need a suppressor for the FP loads which would also tame the light loads. I already do this in one of my .308 rifles. The handloading process would likely appeal to the young chap as well. PM me if you want details on loads etc.
