I've owned five .22 mags over 30 years . Most of them were very average in regards to accuracy , but they earned their place in the safe because the round is very useful for sending animals to the...

So when I got a very desirable Winchester 1885 low wall takedown in .25 rimfire with the obligatory roached barrel I bored and lined with a suitable barrel and chambered it 22 WMR Sounds easy but...

Having done both open country long shots out to a 1000m on animals to literally point blank in the tight stuff for a fair few years now I personally feel the most satisfying and respectful way of...

No denying it, long range hunting is a hell of a discipline and skill when executed correctly. Hugely popular now with so many animals venturing into open country. Getting inside the comfort zone of...

Rangefinders are what have really made long range much easier. It doesn’t matter how good you, your rifle, optics, projectile or the ballistic app are if that deer you think is at 500m is actually...

Change the way you think about unsuccessful hunts. Every time your out there is a learning opportunity. Every time you spook a deer is a learning opportunity. Think about what you did when...

bush stalking is the hardest discipline to master, it takes a really long time and a shit load of concentration to get right, I have been doing it for years and years and still spook more deer than i...

Not sure what it will cost me yet, and don't really care to be honest. It's the lightest, stiffest, sexiest available and it's locally designed and manufactured. I'll let you know after I pick it up...

So the 80 grn Targex will gỗ right through a solid hind at 180 yards and a spiker at 250. The performance is very impressive. High SD sure makes a difference to penetration. The 69 grn seldom exit...

80 grain Targex. 20 to 250 yards. All chest - shoulder shot. 5 shots for 4. One high shoulder shot needed a fixer but it wasn't going anywhere. Breaking them down today so it will be interesting...

While I agree in part I think the country you hunt rather than the game you hunt decides both the ideal caliber and the marginal calibers.

I'm finding the 55gr Sierra Game Kings in the Buffalo 223 ammo really good. This is one from the opposite shoulder of a fallow yearling at 346m (used a rangefinder). it held together really well...

Just me, but for an all round .223 I wouldn't want under 20". 20" is the ideal for me (I have 2 20", and a 22"). The folk with shorter barrels always seem to be chasing velocity. My theoretical...
