[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3135994, member: 5412"] My 1:8 for heavy bullets is from Accuracy systems Inc. The 1:12 for light bullets I just got and waited for 6 months to get is from Dtech. The 6 month wait was because Olympic Arms went belly up as a company, which does the bolt work. They are slowly coming back on line with employees taking over the company according to what Dtech told me. .243 WSSM brass was exorbitant in the last few years with it going for almost $3 per round on Gunbroker at times. Well, it was offered at that price, I don't know if it ever sold. Winchester came out with a run of brass this year. You can get on Cabellas and buy it for $38 or so per 50 I think it is. I have several hundred rounds of brass, and a couple hundred rounds of the nickel plated factory Winchester that I've shot and saved. For the record, I bought the first in 2008 when Obama got elected, and stocked up on brass then. On the long range boards, there is some rumbling of wanting Winchester to bring the caliber back out in the AR platform only which it is supremely suited. It didn't feed well in bolt guns and that is when it fell into disfavor and was discontinued. Nothing better than a 55 grain bullet traveling 4100 fps to turn the innards of a deer into jelly. Speed kills really well. My biggest deer to date that scored 163 green and finaled at 157 1/8 was shot with the 1:8 at a tad over 500 yards. Two steps and dropped in his tracks. I've posted the pics in the hunting forum in the past, showing the distance from the blind. Edit: the internet keyboard gun experts also condemned it to being a barrel burner which it is not, and nowhere close to that. Winchester and Browning did extensive tests to disprove that "theory".
