[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1814566, member: 97414"] So here's the low down on the 2 Gun... My 6.5 A-square I had built last spring shoots real nice with the medium / heavy barrel... But the battle of chasing the brass neck donuts is a bit much at times... I don't have this issue with my 308... Most of the time when the 08 brass is trimmed short I can reload out in the field with the collect-die,,, not worry about neck-donuts,,, cleaning and annealing... I call them my hunting/ plinking rounds,,, sloppy powder measuring,,, fast track bullet seating and be back on the iron gongs from 100 to 600 meters in a few hours... 1 to 1 1/2" MOA is good enough,,, fast and easy,,, the real plus is resizing the brass with the hand press... They resize like butter with next to nill of effort apposed to working with the stretched 6.5 A-square cartridges... If there not loaded hot with the 140/147 grain'ers they hardly rock the 5 and 600 meter gong... The 180's in 308's Rattle them easy with tame loads... Being able to see the gongs swinging after impact is a plus since its tricky hearing the Pack sound when other folks are shooting... Ha... Like I mentioned,,, I enjoy the 6.5 A-square,,, its a awesome hunting cartridge with soft recoil,,, but its not me since I come from the standard 30 caliber world... LOL... I know,,, there are lots of better choices of cartridges to choose from,,, but the majority of my reloading supplied are 308 Winchester... Enough for 1 persons life time,,, I'll double up my stock just to make sure I can pull off a few years before re-stocking... Its nice having lots of supplies with same lot numbers... For 2 rifles chambered identical """Less""" making specific ammo for each of them... Cheers from the North [/QUOTE]
