You need a 1:10" twist and a long barrel to be worthwhile. A 1:10" twist will definitely stabilise them, a 1:12" definitely won't, but they'll still be slow as in a short barrel and that's part of...

I had a ZKK601 for years. Still in the family. It shot 105gr Speer Round Nose. Then, Sierra ProHunter 100gr. The ProHunter is 1.041" long - remember that number. Where the 1:10" .243 runs...

.224 calibre rifles are legal for roe in Scotland, but not England, where .243 is the minimum (with a 100gr bullet and 1700 ft-lbs or thereabouts). So all the poms buy .270s and .308s for these...

Another great film thanks Thomas. The comment from the guide in this film that .243 is a good choice for roe, and that .270, .308 etc is too much gun, that's a very interesting comment. For quite...

In this video at the beginning, when he's walking down the fenceline shooting off sticks, that's exactly what it was like when I was a teenager, before the mixxie came through in 1986. Except the...
