    have used .308 now for the best part of 50 years - stay with 150 grain only because as long shot says 180grain will boot a bit more - dont over complicate what bullets will do comparing commercial...

    I've yet to meet anybody with a FAL that doesn't own a .22 or several. Cheap and cheerful to hone in basic marksmanship and kill furry things. You can pick up a second hand beater for next to...

    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

    I had one going well 1250m on Sunday (17th). He gave me the run around for an hour before he shut up and gave me the slip. Middle of the day, sunny and not cold.

    Plenty of pigs, the odd goat in places. Nailed a load of possums and rabbits up near there in September. Possums everywhere on the peninsula.
