[QUOTE="jpfrog, post: 2148733, member: 32525"] Are you new to shooting as well as hand loading? I ask because long range is a journey- and I don’t mean to sound like a jerk when I say that, I promise. if you are new to both, I would recommend a 30 cal- probably a 30-06. It’s boring to some compared to the newer cartridges of today, but there is tons of data out there for it and components are easier to find. It will work with a wide variety of powder and bullets...your hardest part will be finding primers. You can use this cartridge to learn solid shooting skills and build a foundation that will help you determine what is next for you. It won’t beat you up, and it’ll handle anything you’re wanting to set your crosshairs on within the likely ranges you’ll be shooting during your learning process. Good luck, and welcome to the forum!
