Thread: Getting back to living off the land.....

Ah. What a nice rifle. Good to see the open sights. If your scope ever fogs up, you can smash it off the mounts with a rock and use the reliable irons.

Seems like your current ammo does the job, although it is nice to have the sense of abundance that reloading can help you attain.

A couple of my relatives have 7mm-08 rifles. They'd like some more ammo. I did a quick Google and saw that one retailer is offering various packets of 20 cartridges from $69 to $99 each. That is gob-smacking. Back in the early days of my rifle club experience, we could buy a case of 750 cartridges of .303Br for around forty dollars. I think we were limited to one case each though. (and I was able to buy a fully-wooded surplus Number 4 .303 coated with grease for $11).
