Since when does anyone need an excuse to have fun right. I actually reloaded a half dozen rounds since this post. The 5R rifling did a lot better than those loads have done in the past. I am going to have to try find more sabots. Nice to carry one gun and have multiple loads for multiple opportunities. I just got a nice sling pack from Amazon for $44. Smaller than my day packs, more quick access, 1200 cubic inches, and loops for accessories. I'm trying to set it up to carry different loads in different pockets. For example I always like to have subsonics with. Binoculars and rangefinder are a must.The purpose is fun, we use to buy the Remington 30-06 Accelerators years ago but they stopped selling them, I see now you can but the sabots, want to try them in the 308
