    I had another play around with the Sub-x today. After establishing supersonic was between 11.5 gns and 12gns I loaded up 10, 10.5 and 11gns and shot 3 shot groups at 25ish meters. 147995 I think I...

    I have just had a play with the 190 sub-X. I loaded up 6 rounds from 7gns to 12gns of Trail Boss at 1gn intervals. They didn't go supersonic until 12gns which has surprised me (1gn more than the...

    First blood to the Sub-X. Admittedly, not much of a challenge and sadly not a deer, but it fell down stone dead with a chest shot. https://i.ibb.co/8rcWYmw/Hunting-Wallaby1.jpg

    Bill999 liked post by 7.62 On thread : Advice on semi auto rimfire for goats
    I found the 22mag a bit of a mixed bag on goats. As Flyblown mentions, yearlings and the like are quite diminutive in size; a 22mag will cream them at 100yd no trouble. But solid billies are a...

    I was sitting at home bored and got the urge to go out for a hunt so I got my gear together and decided to go for an afternoon bush stalk as I have done mainly long range stuff and thought it would...

    Forgot to mention, the CCI 40 grain ammo has 1875 fps on the box, unfortunately I didn't fire it before I cut a heap off the barrel but it goes 1788 fps now :cool:

    I'd go either 17wsm in semi, or better a Browning BLR in 223 in lever. Next step would be a bolt action with 10 round mags.

    Skip dealing with a shop in NZ and talk directly to the NZ distributor - no shop mark up that way. I just had my VX3i upgraded to the new CDS-ZL turret system cost $330 including freight. NZ...

    Bill999 liked post by Flyblown On thread : Subsonic action
    Took the 18” Tikka T3 out today for a subsonics run. In all honesty I prefer shooting the Browning BLR, simply for the silly cowboy factor. But seriously, with a DPT suppressor this rig is deadly...

    If you mount too low then your will see the end of your barrel/suppresser in your site picture which I find really annoying. Something to consider.
