My condolences. May the Lord wrap His arms around you and your family and comfort you.
This brings back a flood of memories as I lost my Dad a few years ago.
Don't have a 308, but my adult son has a 6.5 cm Ruger American and I have a 243 Ruger American for a truck gun, both are very accurate for inexpensive rifles. I've never shot factory loads through mine, but my son's shot slow with factory ammo, so I worked up a load for him with 120g BT'S. Good...
Yes, you can carry a firearm in the National Forest in California, I wonder why they didn't?
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) said the mountain lion was euthanized near the scene of the attack. The lion was sent to the CDFW forensics laboratory for analysis.
I'm a member on only 2 forums, this one and the Hammer forum, both great forums with considerate, helpful members on both. The beauty of these 2 forums is we talk about all bullets on both forums.
Don't give up, Scotty ! With my 280 Rem and 140g Absolute Hammers it took me 3 different powders and increasing the crimp, until I found an accurate load. Unlike my 25-06 and 22-250 both with AH's, I found accuracy right away.
