[QUOTE="SRHeer, post: 2333650, member: 61077"] I have a Savage 26 Nosler that's been sitting new in the box for a few years now and since I cannot find ammo for it nor most other calibers I think I will start reloading anyway verses looking for something like a 30-06 or 300 WM - maybe with the greater 6.5 SC bullets it can actually be a bit of a long range elk hunting rifle. I'll have to check on the twist rate but I should be able to use 140-160 gr bullets. I think I will continue to use lung shots for kills because they say our lungs don't have nerves there so it can be one of the least painful means - we cannot even tell when pneumonia sets in because we don't have feeling in lungs so I am thinking of continuing shooting game in the lungs. It can be one of best shots to kill with by helping drain blood out of their circulatory system as well keeping wound adrenalin from spiking. What are some of the bullets powders and cases you like? And since I have not ordered before where are some good recourses? [/QUOTE]
