I shoot almost all handloads but when using factory ammo, Remington is my choice. I really like the Core-Lokt bullet and use it in my handloads where possible.

Sluggo - The way I understand the reloading of the rimfires by the Indians was that they would take a musket cap with a small piece of gravel inserted in the open end for an anvil, then put it in a hole they punched in the rimfire brass. This was then loaded and fired in captured centerfire rifles.

Have your musket clean as a whistle, hatchet scoured, sixty rounds powder and ball, and be ready to march at a minute's warning.

I shoot reloads almost exclusively. I try several combinations of components until one meets my acceptance for hunting and accuracy. I find each rifle is in need of its own load which needs to be sought out. Out of my 3 308's no one load is acceptable in even 2 of them. I don't seem to find what might be the absolute otimum load for each of my chamberings, but I try. I don't see how a factory load can meet my criteria for each rifle.

My opinion only, Gene(I'm still not the most successful hunter)
