Can you tell me where to find these loads listed? I've been looking for a reason to own a Mak, and you may very well have just supplied it to me. This would make (it seems to me) an excellent "introduction" pistol for bringing new folks into the sport, without even the burden of being "ugly" - quite the opposite as a matter of fact. And, the new shooter would not feel like a dweeb because of being started out on a rimfire, but with a "real" caliber. Sounds like a heck of a combination to me. NOT hunting brass makes it even more alluring. I know of one Russian SKS that has introduced somewhere in the neighborhood of a dozen new shooters to the sport once they got past it's looks. The major response after firing the first round has been pleasantly surprised smile, a "that didn't hurt at all", and a bunch of spent rounds in short order. Hmmm...a light recoiling Mak, and an SKS....need to dust off the 28 gauge for a durn nigh perfect easy day at the range for some newcomers... |

i like to reload just to do it. i think in the long run i save on my pistols (45acp and 45 colt) save on my rifles (308 3006 22-250 338) and spend more on my shotguns close to it i like to make a mag 2 3/4 ....1 1/4..... 7 1/2 load so i can use it on most upland birds the 338 is the real money saver. i think i cut costs in hafe and that was using nossler partition bullets $45 bucks a box i was crazy that day well then again it was the day i bought the gun so i guess i was jacked up mostly i use seirras because their bullets all weigh the same next up 250 grn game kings
