Hi folks. I've gone off in a slightly different direction since I posted a few weeks ago asking for advice on what caliber rifle to buy, based on using factory ammo. A few things have changed for me since then.
First, through a family member, I have available to me a Winchester 70 Classic Stainless w/Boss in 7mm Rem. I am going to go with that for now, rather than buy a new rifle (maybe later, if this whole things catches on with me as I think it is!). Anyway, a co-worker of mine reloads, and will do so for/with me. So now I want to know, what do you guys recommend as far as the "best" bullet weight, what would be a good starting load for it, with what powder, etc. Based on what I have read here, I am thinking of the Sierra MatchKing in 168 grain?
Any advice regarding this topic would be greatly appreciated. Also, anyone have any experience with this rifle and Boss--what would be a good starting point with it as far identifying the "Sweet Spot?"
Thanks for your help...
