Re: the most reliable cartridge!!
Afraid it would have been a bit arcane for non reloaders MoA.Glad you brought that up.
SA Ali: That may be another example of our famed bureacracy in action-right thumb not knowing about the Right index finger.Woonder if IOFB can get any of our National/International shooters to endorse their no.1 load for skeet/trap?
was planning the same for my (old) new no4 smellie in 303,with 174gr FMJBT and ADI-2208-will have to wait a while until / when i get my new reloading bench and the stuck case out of the Tmag! The present bench top just died on the downstroke and left me cursing in a dozen languages...Well, i still have a month to lay my paws on the rifle and get it tuned for the service rifle matches

Eljefe: if this is arcane, I should probably write about Optimal Barrel Time.

Re: the most reliable cartridge!!
Yup, and also a slow intro to progressive/degressive factors 101!
You must understand, we in INdia are firearms deprived for a generation or more.The majority is bollywood -even they have switched over to PT99 clones now, but as such, with a mass of disinformazia, courtesy several organisations, press included, this is what we get.
200 rs for a single round of sodit and buggerit in 30-06? no reloading? 5 rounds ammo quota a year?
the whinging is endless.
this is what happens
sure keep us posted.
I think a good start would be to start a reloading section, first-the legality involved,
next reloading101-I am sure we could do a small pic based tutorial.
Best

Re: the most reliable cartridge!!
If you quota of ammo is 5 rounds a year... I wouldnt bother. S&B ammo isnt bad, I use a lot of it, and by a lot I mean sever 000's a year.
As for a picture based pictorial... it will have to wait. I wont get home until the 4th, and then just for 2.5 days, 1 of which will be for shooting. If I do remember I will take pics, but realistically expect it in April. Just extremely snowed under by work. I might not even get home until April... after the 4th trip..

Re: the most reliable cartridge!!
Other than its "suitability for hunting" faux pas,
Please note these "excellent" cartridges have "found favour" with "many renowned shots".
Pray do tell me what competition uses 32 gram loads?
I have tried olympic disciplines, ESK,NASSA, ESP,ABT,DTL,Sportrap, FITASC etc. (not that the latter ones are even available in India),
Never knew 32 grams are allowed in any competition.
