    Currently hunting isn't just against the rules, it's against the law until the 22nd April, and beyond that if the Health notice is extended. And if on public land without permission from DOC it's...

    Hoonigan08 liked post by Cigar On thread : .17hmr vs .22lr vs .223 BEST FARM GUN?
    I have had 22lr, 22mag and 223 for about 25 years. Some things to consider... if noise is an issue, 22lr with suppressor and subsonic ammo is by far the quietest, 22mag has more range than 22lr,...

    Nugget connaisseur liked post by Cigar On thread : vx5hd vx vx6hd
    For hunting I would go vx5hd 3-15x44 firedot. I had one and really liked it, but sold the rifle it was on and wouldn’t fit my other rifles unless I removed the rear open sight. You can still dial for...

    Edunn liked post by Cigar On thread : Pressure Differences - ELD-M and ELD-X
    From what I have heard the m is softer than the x, so I would expect higher pressure with the x at the same powder charge, but I have no idea whether it’s enough to be an issue. I would play it safe...

    chubby liked post by Cigar On thread : 243 loads
    Any of the three would do the job, but I like the 90gr eld-x. It's very accurate and performed well on targets out to 550m and gongs to 860m.

    Don't go too heavy, my 1:10 twist couldn't stabilise the 103gr ELD-X.

    For my rifle (Brno ZKK601) and aiming for 0.02 off the lands, COAL is 2.66 inches for the eld-x, 2.64 for the 100gr Prohunter, and 2.56 for the 85gr hpbt Gameking. Sierra manual uses 2.65 for both...
