    Texas,

    Thanks for writing what I thought! Yes, the military is prepared to upgrade to .270 ballistics. Why? The .223 served well enough for over half a century. This reminds me of a historical...

    murf205,

    I am glad you got better PSA numbers now. When my PSA went to 5.5, I went to see a specialist who "dropped the ball!" For over a year, I saw him quarterly, my PSA numbers kept going up...

    oldhenry,

    You will like cast boolits in your Garand and 03-A3s. The bolt guns are not too picky while the Garand needs enough powder to cycle the action. I use cast boolits in all my many military...

    Doug,

    ely,

    More hype, in my opinion. In 1965, they issued us the Matel 16 (aka M16), and the hype was, to wit: "The bullet goes so fast, no sight change is needed; the powder burns so clean, cleaning is not...
