    FNG from Bakersfield

    FNG from Bakersfield, CA. I’m a real late arrival to rifles, reloading, etc. I bought my first and only hunting rifle back in 2018, a Tikka T3X Lite .243 Win. Great rifle. I was 56 at that time. Kinda went crazy on trying different loads experimenting with 55gn Nosler BT lead-free bullets...
