    johnd liked post by Beavis On thread : Bergara B14 bolt action rifles

    Firstly, you cant buy the 1/4 to 1/2moa you can gain by handloading to match the gun, unless plain lucky. Currently there are 3 options for 155gr via NRA. Nosslers, cheapest, great for

    johnd liked post by R93 On thread : Norma versus ADI .308 primers
    They both look OK to me. But the Norma appear to be handling the load a tiny bit better. They're are not what I would call flat. Do the fired cases recharmber without sizing? If so I wouldn't worry...
