With the ice fishing opportunities being tougher to come by this year and the winter being busy so far with family events/situation I have been back at pondering different gun calibers that would be new/interesting to me as well as getting some of the old guns I grew up shooting with dad back out firing. Then I started thinking about what I have used for brass, primers, powders, bullets over the years and what I am planning on working with coming up for my 7mm Rem Mag and 6.5-284 then thought what about dad's old two 30-06 going into the mix or the old 6.5 Jap. I could also start messing with my .223 again or the old 30-30's we have or the Winchester .32
So what are some of the peanut galleries go to or favorite's when loading up the boom sticks?
Here is my rough plan for the 7mm and 6.5-284
7mm Rem Mag
Brass= Nosler-have 50 new and never tried them before
Primer= Winchester Magnum - always just what I bought but willing to take suggestions
Powder= IMR 4350 or 4831 - the only two I have ever tried, again would take suggestions if given
Bullet= Berger 168gr - have used Barnes TSX and TTSX 140/150gr in the past and might still use them
6.5-284 Norma
Brass= Lapua and also have some once fired Nosler to try
Primer= Winchester Large Rifle/Large Rifle Magnum
Powder= H4831sc or RL22 to start beings I have it
Bullet= 140gr Berger. Have ran Barnes 140gr Match Burner, 120gr TTSX, 127gr LRX(have never got the LRX to group)
6.5 Jap & 30-06 Springfield (all undecided right now, need to see what I have laying around still)
