[QUOTE="fariswm, post: 1737249, member: 11234"] I was thinking about my history handloading the other day as I was loading a box of 140 gr Nosler Partitions behind 58.5 grains of 4831 for my .280. I bought the Noslers in a lot of bullets I got on line in various calibers over twenty years ago and never loaded them. One of my sons is going on a hunt this week and I thought this would be a great round to use-- even if he saw an elk at reasonable range. And then I thought about how I began handloading when I got back from Vietnam. My first rifle when I got back was a Remington 700 BDL with a Leopold 3X9 scope in 7mm Mag. The memory that came to mind was brought on by the $26.50 price tag on the H4831 I was loading compared to the memory of Hornady bullets for less than $10.00 a box and H4831, H870 and H570 for $1.10 per pound. I could load used brass for about $.10 per round. Great memories. [/QUOTE]
