Let me start by saying that I'm a noob and I may be doing this wrong. Any help will be appreciated though.
I've got an Omega on the way so I had to pick up a Handi Rifle in 300 BO since they were only $250.That's what I'm working with now. I want to have a cheap (if possible) plinking load and a decent hunting load. Quiet is the main objective.
I've been picking up powder and bullets when I can so I have a pretty good selection to start with I think.
I'll get right to the chono data that I got today. Hopefully I can lay it out right so y'all can make sense of it. CCI400 primers on all.

This was too fast and the primers flattened a little so I stopped.
