    Another 1+ one the phone. Used to carry a GPS for work too but everyone uses a phone with avenza & topo50 maps.

    for a little extra you can get the etrex 30 basically the same with the better compass (think the 20 compass doesnt do anything till you start moving) feature and more memory

    I do that with my 243. Take 6-10 rounds of the lightest varmint bullet I can, ie 6mm x 55 or 58 gr Vmax etc over trail boss. depending upon how much powder I stuff in that gives me 1500-2300 fps, ...

    If you have a smart phone then just get a GPS app, I use Topo50 with my iphone. Doesn't need cell coverage and you have either the whole NI or SI permanently downloaded. Signal works under trees too....

    Garmin are definitely the brand to go with for GPS. They use open source programming, which means anyone can make maps etc to load onto them. There are free topomaps and auto-routing driving maps...

    Just check that your eyes are good enough to make out the detail on the screen. And ask to have a look at how the topo's look. I have an older colour 60CSx and compared to my mates sightly (2yrs)...

    The other thing to consider with the Grendel case is it is inherently accurate. The 22, 6.5 & 30 Grendels I have built are stupid accurate, whether bolt guns or AR uppers. ...

    I've done this. 100gr Sierra hollowpoint, seated to 2.120 IIRC, over 6.9gr of Trail Boss and a CCI 450 primer. Reasonably consistent velocities but not as quiet or as accurate as my 22LR. Given the...

    Ive loaded a few for shits and giggles and they are fine for possums and head shooting goats.. Trail boss is best but something fast like 2205 or AP70 works well too. Find the cheapest and lightest...

    If you are serious about subs forget the Grendel no one makes a decent subsonic cast bullet mould in 6.5, you are better off with the 7.62x39 I have a cast hollow point 151 grain that works well in...
