[QUOTE="Badley, post: 1031718, member: 10852"] I would suggest, if your just wanting some practice out to 100 yrds then shoot something that cost alot less than a 308. I have a little 17HMR that I shoot alot at 100 just for trigger time. Once you get breathing undercontrol, and trigger pull worked out, it really doesnt matter what your shooting, you will be able to get your groups together. As long as your gun can do its part. And usually the gun can shoot better than the shooter pulling the trigger. I would also hold off on "stocking up" on ammo until you know what your gun shoots well. Before I started reloading I would buy several boxes of different types of ammo, run a couple of rounds down the tube and see how they grouped. Then once you find a good shooting load then stock up on that. Also the rounds your should buy depend on what type of shooting you are planning on. Are you paper shooting, or do you plan on using it for hunting. You wanna make sure that your getting a bullet that will perform for your intended purpose. [/QUOTE]
