    It depends on what you are after? As a "bang flop" cartridge I think a 308 has the edge,for flat shooting and mild recoil/little blast the old Swede is hard to beat. I have a couple and have had a...

    My thoughts would be to use something slower than 4350 / 2209, perhaps even superformance. The general rule of thumb with improved cartridges is to use a load near to max for the standard round as...
