    Moa Hunter liked post by grandpamac On thread : Case stuck in chamber
    Does the extractor slip over the case rim when extracting and how much force does that take? There may be a slight ring in the chamber or you loads may be too hot. After almost 50 years of loading...

    Greetings All, O joy. Just logged on to the Hastings District Council to find that the Taihape Road is OPEN. A quick check on the DoC website shows the Lakes Road carpark is also open. Mid week...

    Greetings @OMG and all, Well put. The aim should be to have a certified range to shoot on rather than trying to skirt around the law. The use of a non range area is well set out in the Range Manual...
