Indeed Dave, there is a lot to digest and the more you start to look into this stuff the more confusing it can get too. With your 6BR you are probably best off just going with 2208, it just works. I have tried  2206H,  8208  and the 2209, like the BRX and Dasher you'll need a drop tube for the 2209 and its  probably not worth the trouble. Like I mentioned earlier around the 30 grs (As always start lower and carefully work up) of 2208 and you'll be nailing those flies in no time.

Yeah I think we shop at the same store ;)  The Borden seems a little smoother then the Savage. Can't wait until its all finished and the range is back open to get out there and give it a go.

One day I must just try changing primers and see what happens, just for curiosities sake if for no other reason. Mind you I have been saying that for 3 years about neck tension too but I have never changed that either.

No matter what components you choose I have no doubt you and Kathy will make them work. I look forward to seeing your results.
