Don't know how I shot deer with a 2-7 or 2.5-8 for 50 years, if I'd had a 2-12 or 3-18 there wouldn't be a animal left.

As mentioned above, I find case-neck-tension can be a huge variable in the pressure-variable part of the equation. You need to get your brass as consistently-equal as possible if you are going for...

When I was competing the “ Big Dogs “ mostly used Eley Black box ammo and had special chamber reamers to suit it . My rifle seemed to prefer the Lapua / SK line of ammo which suited me because of...

I went to 120's because of pass-throughs (140's), all dead, but didnt want to risk it. 120's are brilliant, the faster the better, be surprised if you're not impressed when you try them. 0-300m is...

I use rods, brushes, & patches. I leave oil in the barrel when I store my guns. I use the boresnake to remove the oil before shooting. Its good to get a bit of crud out of the barrel, good to have...

The moment Sako release a Carbonlight chambered in either 6.5 Prc or 6.5x284, I will be buying one immediately and mounting a Swaro Z8 on it as my "do it all" rifle. Will be selling everything else.
