Mine are mainstream, but a few military that aren't so much an everyday caliber. Of course, I reload for them all and have multiple rifles in some calibers.

It's only true if it's on this forum where opinions are facts and facts are opinions

I used to shoot and load for a 270 Winchester, but no longer have one of those. I even gave a 50 round bag of brand new Winchester brass to Linefinder for him to use.
Gun control laws make about as much sense as taking ex-lax to cure a cough.

ICL - improved cartridge loading - two types, the short was a .257 necked up to .270, long one .270 WIN. (mine) similar to the AI but with a 45* sholder, came out in the late 40s or early 50s, pushed a 150gr bullet at 3150fps, Clymer made the reamers.
The .50 BMG cost me about $2.50 - $3.00 per round, 210 -230gr of powder back in the early 90s.

Why pushing a 150 grain pill @ 3150 FPS is what some are talking about doing with "Modern" wildcats/cartridges?

...and probably a couple more that I can't remember right now.
You know, that's about as simple and effecient a collection of cartridges as one can have. Ain't much you can't do with those.
That would be for when he is ready to step up from casual user to addict.
