Greetings NIMROD and all, There was an earlier club in Napier in the 1970's called the Black Stag Club. I remember a derelict hut in the Ruahines, downstream of Awatere Hut called the Black Stag Hut...

Greetings @MB, To a point yes. This is what I do in reverse to get a base zero for 300 and 600 yards on my 200 metre range. Based on the chronographed velocities I calculate the trajectory at 200...

Greetings, I found AR2209 worked well in my 6.5x55 T3 Lite with the 129 grain SST. There are a couple of cautions though. Current production AR2209 is faster than that produced 20 or so years ago...

Greetings, One thing that is well below old prices is chronographs. Over 30 years back (1991) I bought an Oehler 35P chronograph which cost $849.00. They are still made today, possibly upgraded a...
