[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 2655220, member: 66917"] The nice thing about this cartridge is you can easily make brass from at least 3 different cartridges. So, getting decent brass shouldn't ever be an issue. Back in the day the biggest issue we had was magazine length and trying the fight the finicky nature of the longer over-bore cartridges with the powders of the time. I think we used RL22 mostly with 140gr Ballistic tips and 150 Sciroccos. With everything set right we could get sub 1/2 MOA pretty easy. This was before range finders, wide use of annealing machines, wind meters, ballistic apps etc. when MPBR ruled the day for long range hunting and a 500-yard shot was really long even for Coues deer. The end of the good old days ... ;) [/QUOTE]
