Advice around here suggests your over gunned and should swap it 243 for a 223 instead. ;)

That's a saying that gets thrown around a lot within the gun community but I've always found it somewhat amusing because there are no serious shooters that have only one gun. Guns are tools, you...

Go and watch the backfire and Erik Cortina challenges. Theres an element of forgetting the shots where it doesn't work. Very few out there are shooting as well as they claim. Whatever rifle calibre...

Alright lads, let’s get after this. I’m going to try and sun it all up, in what will be my last post in this thread. From what I’ve seen (as a generalisation) hunters in this country are average...

The most amazing thing about the 223 is how topical and polarising it is. Day 3 since Hunter_Nicks 1st post and we’re 190 posts in. Much of it a repeat of 223 on deer. I haven’t read every...

Wow. You're going to be in trouble for saying that. I'm starting to get the feeling 223 users are a bit like vegans. How do you know they use one? Don't worry, they'll tell you. (Don't take it...
