I use 26gn's of 748 for 50's, 55's, and 60's in my rifle, all seem to shoot to the same point for the first 200 metres. 748 is so easy to load with, great through a thrower if you're in a hurry.

Well, Im gonna disagree with Hermitage, I have had a number of Weaver scopes over the years and cant fault them. Never had any warranty issues whatsoever. My first was a 3X Micro Trac way back in...

I usually trap for a few weeks each year, being self employed I can just take the time off to suit, makes a welcome change from my usual work. In the country I work, I can effectively run 100 traps....

Done a heap of skins over the years, using Leidretters or Leders products. Firstly, salt it, and then salt it again. Then deflesh it using the double hailed fleshing tool across a post running from...

Im with chainsaw on this - if I only had one rod it would be a 6 weight. After 35 years guiding, I think the number of 6 weight rods that clients have used or bought to NZ would be well over 60%, all...

I haven't had any issues depriming Lapua brass with crimped primers, but understand they can be an issue for some. I use RCBS dies. If the depriming pin is the removable type like the RCBS, go to...

River is way low right now, very little in the Rakaia, but still a bit coming out of the Lake Stream. Present crossing is easy. If you are on your own, up to about 120 cumecs is ok, 2 trucks and up...

Easy as so long as rivers are ok. Follow road to the end, past Double Hill, big sign indicating Manuka Point crossing, cross to Manuka Point on track, pick up DoC sign when almost at Manuka Point,...

Yup.......Nathan foster's kits are worth every bit of the $80, and the instructions on paper, video, and back up are excellent. If you buy a new stock, chances are you're gonna have to bed it anyway.

Had a bit of free time yesterday, not much, but enough. Had a 30cm gong at 300, 400, 485, and 700. Loaded some 140's, using SPF cos it seems to be just a tad tighter in the groups, and slightly...
