I'm a fan of the 22 cal bit I don't think it's accurate. I just don't value energy that much. It does however hold sufficient velocity to make the bullet work way further.

You could head over to the Gladstone Range that day. Make yourself known to a club member (someone not wearing a visitor lanyard) and pay the IIRC $10 fee. Then you can shoot from 25 - 200 and the...

always eat the livers and kidney before you start drinking, that way the alcohol gets confused and doesnt attack your liver and kidneys

Couple of things - Marlin semiautos have their own preferred setup. First - clean the action, feed throat etc thoroughly. Then spread 1 drop only of oil on bolt - no more - and put back into...

One myth that all of this has busted is that a perfect mushroom shaped bullet is the ideal.

In structured experiments, some of the least effective projectiles are those recommended for hunting by their manufacturers. All that is worth looking at is the evidence of actual performance.

I dont understand the .243 detractors. I have never found the boundaries of it. I can't see where I would shoot a deer with a .308 that would kill it when the .243 wouldn't. However, some factory...

Greetings All, I headed to the Range yesterday to do a bit of shooting on the Running Boar range at Taupo. Being somewhat disorganised I just grabbed my little Ruger. I had been using one of those...

Alright lads, let’s get after this. I’m going to try and sun it all up, in what will be my last post in this thread. From what I’ve seen (as a generalisation) hunters in this country are average...

Yeah I think you’ve summed up this thread well. I for one agree that a .223 is a legitimate hunting cartridge for medium game. However let’s not lead some less experienced hunters to believe it’s a...

To the people that say they like to be overgunned. Let's assume your using highly fragmenting match type projectiles in your bigger options. As is clearly seen in any calibrated gel test these...

That's why I built a 6mm CM to replace a 6mm ARC, a fast twist and the boolits it enables are definitely an advantage over 400M or so . . . The 1:8 243 will be cool when there's some choice in...

Yes the good old 243, it’s a great calibre , accurate, light recoil, cheaper to load for compared to magnums. When I was in the F.S and meat hunting after that the 243 was my main rifle, it did...

I loose shooting my little .243 single shot, it kills everything I point it at, and very easy to shoot. I was worried about using it during the past two roars but it did the damage, can’t complain....
