Come on, guys, let's face it. "Pet Loads" are like pet dogs. They belong to only one master. Several years ago a writer (I think his name was Ken Waters) made a living publishing "Pet Loads" and I never found them to be especially accurate in any rifle I owned.

If you know anything about rifles and reloading, you know that there are no magic bullets (Yes, pun intended). Each and every chamber and barrel will react differently to each and every load. Your -.500" .308 "Pet Load" may not work worth squat in my rifle. A "Pet Load" may be a great place to start experimenting but, don't expect it to solve all your problems.
