Ar2208 is what Im using...45grains, Lapua brass, fed match primer. I havnt really worked an exact load yet, trying to decided on the bullet, once thats done I might wait for the FTR.

I'll use 1000~1200 rounds a year....it does add up...but our club gets it in bulk and passes the savings on but yes I looking at the US prices for guns n' things and get hacked off.

eg A Savage FTR is about $13500US which is about $1600NZ I'll have to pay $2300NZ but then I expect only 1 or 2 to be imported a year, most ppl buy barnard action'd guns.

or Cleaning rods are $180NZ so $150US here, but $45US on sinclairs...
