[QUOTE="TARGETMAN, post: 1098883, member: 14648"] After much research and comparison of components (especially weights), I finally decided on the following for my new .308 Win build: Hart barrel; Douglas featherweight contour at 20" finished length, 1 in 10" twist Pierce Titanium action Jewell Trigger McMillan Hunter's Edge stock blind magazine Tally lightweight one-piece ring/base Leupold VX III 3.5x10x40 Total weight will be just under 6.5 lbs... Im looking for a good place to start on handloads. I prefer to load one all purpose round and use it for whitetails, muleys, and hopefully sheep. Been looking at most major brands in the 150-168 grain range. I do not have any components yet so want to narrow down my choices before I start buying. What hunting load/bullet recommendations do you have? [/QUOTE]
