reloading for .308 survivor
« on: February 18, 2009, 01:00:30 PM »
I was reading the FAQ on reloading for the handi and to say the least i got overwhelmed. I have never loaded rifle rounds but I do load pistol rounds. I want to make accurate plinking/coyote loads not looking for really powerfull loads. Can you fellas give me some personalized tips for accurate loads these will be fired in my handi only. Maby even your favorite .308 bullets and powder?
