   Greetings Hermitage, There is no doubt that reduced pressure will reduce throat erosion but the variable you have missed is projectile diameter. The .308 has 60% more throat area than the .243 (...

   I note that Horst mentions group hunt by which I assume he means a driven game hunt. In these hunts the game is on the move and not dawdling either. For these a fast second shot would be an advantage...

   Greetings All, I was wondering the same thing when out for my walk yesterday. I have always used handy trees and shrubs for support on the steep slippery stuff which is fine when they are handy....

    Greetings All, From the photo Horst seems to be having a good laugh about something. Maybe it is us. Perhaps his hunting buddy got his lederhosen caught in a barbed wire fence. Time will tell....

    As a total WAG for Hawkes Bay I pick 21 March for Reds. In the UK their date works out to 25 March. I have often heard an early Sika roar in the last week end in March. Grandpamac.
