Don't think I'd use a bonded bullet for varmints. Depending on your definition of what a varmint is and the ricochet factor. Sort of depends on the velocity as a deer bullet also.

If she already has a 243 why the 7-08?

Source for a 6x6.8 affordably priced barrel? What dies to use?

H4831sc and the new IMR 4995 for the heavies in the Swede works best for me.

Hate to say it here but best load in my 44 contender is the 200 gr Barnes XPB. Plenty of speed and very accurate with a healthy dose of W296. Whitetail hammer!

Doesn't matter,they won't hold primers after 2 loadings anyway.

So what's going on with the rumored 24 Nosler?

Hope they got the brass figured out or it will be a big waste like the 22 Nosler.

I see that this cartridge is available in the new NCH. In the handloading book they have OAL at 2.25". First I've seen anything about this. Is this the 22 Nosler necked up for AR use?

Now you just need to AI them!

I've been using a 50 cal CVA the past few years, Accura MR. With Shockwave bullets and Blackhorn 209 powder you can cover 3 shots at 100 yds with a quarter. Never fails to put at least 1 whitetail in the freezer every year. I had been using a 45 cal TC omega but just couldn't get it to be...

My 22 Nosgar puts the 64 gr bonded into 1" or less,it would be interesting to see what the 70 will do.

Gun Broker has one in 6.5 Swede!

Got another 3 groundhogs with it tonight.
