I have enough 44 mag to shoot it with my Henry lever gun and I have enough 45-70 to shoot with my Marlin... I also have a bunch of REALLY accurate 308 rounds for my AR-10... I also have a fair amount of 8MM Mauser that's an FN49... BUT I would have to do some work on that rifle.
But most folks shoot AR-15s... Got one of those too and I'm quick with that little sucker - but I would have to load those...

I don't really care about winning, but I just want to shoot something fun.

Of the above listed rifles, what would you take to just have fun?

EDIT: In this shoot it is all 50-100 yards for rifle... So all of these apply.

This may be sacrilege on the Cast Boolits Forum, but given the parameters of your situation, I’d just go to Wally World and pick up a supply of the cheapest bulk pack 223 ammo they carry. This will get you through this event which doesn’t require gilt edge accuracy anyway, and the bulk pack is about as cheap as you could reload in this small amount.

PS I voted in the “load 223” column, but really meant “buy” see comments above.

I would take the AR-10. You may not plan on winning but it sucks to not be competitive.

I'd pick the FN 49 I guarantee you would raise some eyebrows with that rifle . Especially shooting cast bullet .

Oh man. I think you need to reread the "addicted to casting boolits" thread until you feel better...

I've taken a Garande to the 3 gun match dominated by ARs. I didn't come close to winning but I sure did have fun.

This is a good point Marko! I got 2nd with that lever gun a couple months back. They make you run to get your hear rate up for that shoot, so people do miss even though it's not very far.
