    Welcome to the forum SC.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Being a RO you start thinking of what can happen, not what you hope will happen.
    Fair call SC. Sometimes videos can disillusion measurements and the variance is well within a safe range. Thanks though. I'll take your advice on board.

    Did a little bit of gong bashing out at @muckos place today, @hunter270 got a bit more time behind the 270 and I got to have a play with a 300WM and loved it

    The Bergers out of my 7-375 do the same out to about 400.
    What distance were they at? Looks like a big group from 100 if I'm reading this right.

    Nah I call bullshit. If you shot standing up then the weight of the rifle forward would pull you over Gibo.

    This seems like a good place to ask. What is an honest 600m deer caliber - so I mean can still kill at 700. Ie I don't want to be on the last of its legs at 600
    Needs to be factory chamber ie Tikka T3 and I would reload.
    Would certainly wear a DPT can.
    Scope would likely be a 4-12 something-a-rather.
