RE: Favorite Weatherby Cartridge

Ammo is really not that much more than a high end loading in say... 1 of the wsm's. I usually pay $40.00 for a box of 100 grain spire points for the .257

RE: Ruger Compact

I have that gun in .308. Actually my 10 year old son uses it. Nice straight grain walnut, nicely blued. Shoots good too, about an 1 1/2 to 2" at 100 yards. Pretty good for a short barrel.

RE: Nosler 48 Sporter anyone??
