I found that 2217 pretty good, but I now run N560 for 2980fps with 162 AMAX from 24in bbl. N560 gives me an extra 80fps or there abouts. Also tried RL22 = very accurate, but speed down around 2850fps...

Black powder is very little problem in a Winchester 92 chambered in .44-40. Just pour some water down the bore after shooting and wipe it out with a couple of patches and then an oiled patch - and...

A good friend of mine Larry Jackson has just launched a website for his services -he does high quality stockwork and some gunsmithing out of Whangarei. I've used a 6mm Rem he made, and the stock and...

What I’ve done a few times over the years is work out what my maximum effective range is by actually testing it. An old door or plastic drum works well… prop it up with a decent sized cross painted /...

Use the right pill and you should be good to 400-500 yds. I’d be using 150 ELDx out of the ones you listed. 162 ELDMs would be better. Check your muzzle velocity & go from there. I tend to use...

Just buy one tract will know the rules. You know you need another 3-15 torric.

If your looking at buying would seriously consider Bergara B14 Extreme hunter comes factory 18” fluted. Use mine from 10- 500 yards

My 18in bergara is pushing the 165g TGK at 2650fps. Happy with mine to 500m. Any gunsmith will cut a tikka to desired length.

what is the rifles job going to be? Id be pushing you towards something like a .243 for a low recoil but also big game capable 223 on big game is marginal for someone starting out

Inside 500meters, all you need is a 7mm08 but don't look past the 6.5creed either. There is more factory ammo avaliable. I've got a 7mmRemMag as well as numerous other 7mm rifles, it hardly gets...

I'd be looking at not in particular order.... 2-12×44 vx6 2.5-12×50 z5 Both give nice low power for bush ranges but still decent top mag if you need to stretch out. I believe the z5 has slightly...
