[QUOTE="6072mc, post: 590697, member: 40332"] Just out of curiosity what are the starting costs for reloading? Is it cheaper to buy allot of rounds of the internet or make allot yourself? When I say allot of rounds I am talking about enough to last for a year of shooting as I obviously wouldn't want to keep ordering online each month, you follow me? I shoot on average about twice a month. Usually two boxes of ammo per trip. Additionally how complicated and safe is it to reload? I attempted to make a pipe bomb with a copper pipe and pyrodex black powder when I was about 13 and the end result was me losing my eyebrows and having a red face for about a month. That was a long time ago and I have improved in my instruction following abilities significantly since then, but if the chances for something blowing up seriously exists then I had better stay away from it until the kids are grown up and out of the house :D 300win mag vs 300 wsm... which of the two are better? From Winchester's ballistic's table the wsm was showing better trajectories. Winchester and Hornady's tables are what I have been using recently. I have no real world applicable knowledge with these two caliber's so all I know about them is what I can find on the internet. How do the 338 Lapua Savage and 7wsm do on small deer (Small deer in my state would be a doe in the 130-150 weight range. I personally don't shoot doe's and wouldn't shoot a buck that small either but I am thinking worst case scenario here. I have no experience with the 338 or 7wsm so I don't know how much damage they do. There is no 7wsm in the savage model I have picked. If this is the superior caliber can you recommend a rifle in my price range? the 300win mag ($962) and the 300 wsm ($1001) in the savage rifle are both at a thousand, but the 338 isn't (it's at $1239). That's going over quiet a bit and could push the purchase date out another month to March. Is that caliber that much better in the long run and waiting another month? [/QUOTE]
