I have just put 250 odd shots through my .223 over a week and cleaning apart from a swipe with a bore snake hasn't entered my head. I do a deep clean every few months whether it needs it or not :)

There’s definitely positives for going solo - you can do everything on your schedule, and I think I get more animals by myself too. I guess it comes down to individual risk tolerance at the end of...

I shot these 2 with the 74 grn Targex at 3k. About 100 yards. They work pretty well - like the 73 ELDM I expect. Have shot quite a few deer with them - loaded a few hundred for wallaby and once I...

Formed a few more 8.6 Blackout cases ready to go. 247933 Neck turning an absolute necessity because of how thick the necks come out. Time consuming. But pretty.

First Pureoras stag for me today on the eastern side. No monster trophy but always good fun stalking in when it is roaring well. Shot at 10m. Was a hard choice to chase reds or sika on a last minute...

Be very unlikely for a genuine belt to break after 10yrs. Seen some that have done 25-30 and still looked mint. But the cost of a belt and tensioner vs an engine is quite different. I'd personally...
