    Very true, my old man and his mate (who was a kiwi that died a few years back now) went hunting buff with the old .270 and had no problems with it. The thing I've learnt from my very short time guiding is it doesnt matter how effective I am, you have no idea of the blokes you're taking and their capabilities. A bloke about a month back from 100 m was shooting about a 15" group. Have to say he managed the deer alright but it was only about 40 m away. And then I've hunted with (but not guided on) a bloke that clean missed a sambar stag from 40 m. Some people boggle the mind!

    Has anyone come across this slight deforming of brass when FL resizing? Any ideas?

    Yes I've had it with 9.3x64. The dreaded donut. Brass flows into the neck and needs to be reamed out, do it before resizing. I use a 9.5mm drill bit turned by hand. If a projectile will not drop into a fired but not sized case you have a donut. Plenty of info on google.

    Pictured is Gunsmith Rob Blomfield, with a custom 338/06. Have to say the 338/06 is very impressive performer.

    Woohooo!! Just joined the club! Bought Tentman's Mauser Oberndorf. I've got the green light for a trip to Africa in a few years so figured I needed an African rifle rather than carbon fibre and stainless steel.

    Hmmm I'm contemplating pulling the trigger on a purchase of a 9.3x62 barrel for my Blaser R93

    There was a Browning Bar in this calibre on trademe just the other week. It would be an interesting combination.

    Here is mine, Mauser oberndorf made sometime between 1924 and 25. Came from Rhodesia were it probably shot buffalo, kudu impala etc. I hope to take it back to Africa in a few years time. In the meantime I will have to imagine spiral horns on deer.

    Very nice. It looks like there's plenty of history with that one.
