He drew a bull permit (he wants the trophy) and I drew for a cow (I want that sweet meat). The area is some of the best elk hunting in Idaho. South of...

    7.65 Argintine - Bullet size??

    Since Norma factory ammo is so expensive and an awful lot of the cheap military surplus is iffy - both on detonation and accuracy, I've been thinking of reloading my own. I have saved every case I have shot. Dies are not a problem... But what size do I get for bullets? I'm thinking .303...
