.308 loaded with WC846

Today I loaded 500 rounds of Remington .308 using a 147g FMJ bullet loaded with 46.5g of WC846 powder and a CCI 200 large rifle primer.  These rounds usually yield me about 2600fps on a 20″ barrel.  New MTM ammo storage boxes are on their way from Amazon.  Can’t load any more .30 cal until I get more bullets.  Those and .45 just went to the top of the “must have” list.

Additionally, I separated a 1000′ spool of 550 paracord into 200′ lengths and then coiled them using a daisy chain coil.  Check out this YouTube video on How to Coil a Rope to learn the daisy chain coil.  My favorite way to carry cordage.
