RE: 7.62 = .308??

I used to shoot the .311 cal. stuff in my mini 30 and it never complained. It never shot well with any ammo so I got rid of it. My mak 90 always shot better than my mini 30.

RE: Keyholing??

Yep looks like they are wobbling or maybe even tumling. with that twist 1800fps isn't fast enough, i would guess. If your cast is hard enough I'd try boosting them up to around 2100fps. If it works...

RE: 30-06sprg 125gr.

I've killed a dozen or so deer with 100gr 6mm so the 125gr 30-06 is not to light for deer. I load 130 gr in 30-06 and 300 win mag. They shoot quite nice and work on deer just fine.

It makes a difference if you reload. I've found my .300 win mag to be the most all around gun. I have a 130gr load up to a 220gr load. I can do the same with the 30-06 but with less velocity but I...

The .243 can't use the 26" barrel to it's advantage. There is not enough powder in the small case to need 26" even my 30-06 dosen't need the 26" probably 24" is about all it needs. The .243 works...
