I ran into some stray .225 in the shop the other day. PM me if you have any interest.
I sure miss my .225 . it was my first sub-moa rifle.

What do you all...

I was considering just that.
For another thread.... I shoot .224 and .243 with Grendel based cartridges. I wonder what kind of performance I could pull out of a "308 Grendel" ?
Too much fun!...

The quick change setup claims to return to original POI of the barrel you are installing. They also claim and easy and quick change.
But...... If having a dedicated cast barrel isn't advantageous...

I recently bought a .308 rifle primarily because I want to cast rifle bullets and give my hand at shooting 400+ yards with cast.
