California compliant 300 Win Mag loads?

I posted my .308 Win load - here's my mono load for the .300 Winnie and personal observations: 168gr TTSX over 73gr of RL22 at Barnes' recommended COAL of 3.30". This load is sub-MOA in my Ruger M77MkII and shoots MOA in 2 R700 XCRII's. It's not a super fast load as it's a bit hot for the...

California Compliant 308 loads?

Who hunts with a 10lb+ rifle?

My Ruger M77MKII is 10.5# w/scope, not ideal for mountain/backpack hunting, it wears me down. 7.5 is more ideal for me, but you have to spend $ to hit that target weight.
