I gave that one away, in its baggie, unused. I like the five rounders.
Good target ammo is 70 cents to 90 cents a round, three to nearly
four times the cost of good .223 target ammo. Shooting slow is the way
to go.

Then why didn't you buy a real target rifle?
There are some real nice ones out there.
I also wonder if you have looked at the 6.5 Creedmore. Guys are
squeezing amazing stuff out of that flat shooting little round.
If you really are shooting slow, you might be a guy who could get into
reloading. It is economical and also allows you to get as much
precision out as you are willing to put in.

Tell you what...you shoot the way you like, and I'll shoot the way I
like. I usually shoot one 20-round box of .308 when I visit the range, a
50-round box of 9mm and a couple hundred rounds of .22LR. My feelings
about reloading haven't changed since the last three times you brought
this up.

Hey do what you like but you seem like you are really a hands on guy
and there is a lot to reloading if you are really trying to squeeze
the last millimeter out of your groups.
That Creedmore is also getting to be a very popular round for guys who
like the sport you seem to have taken up. It is basically a necked
down .308 with improved down range (accuracy) performance. More guns
are being chambered for it and I imagine you can just buy a Creedmore
upper for the AR you have. Ammo for it is available pretty much
everywhere these days.

I know the bolt in my .308 works with the Creedmore round...I'd have to
get a new upper...but I have nowhere to take advantage of the supposed
distant range advantages of the round.
