    My first rifle, which is still own, love and use regularly, is a Tikka M695 in .270 Winchester. A lot of people whine and moan about things like the fact that .270 win rifles need the longer barrel...

    The problem is that the police don't care about rural crime. We pay the same amount of tax as everyone else, but we are the first to be overlooked. I had two poachers on camera at 2.30 am. I rang...

    I have just bought this little .223 of my mate who replaced this with a 1/8 tikka. I Chopped it down to 16 inch and put a dpt on it. Any body using one with 55g hornady soft points and got an ideal...

    A Forum member recommended Berger's. So we loaded up some 95's. Be the worst projectile we have ever used. They just pencil thru big red stags. My son shot 3 big stags in a mob all thru the shoulder...

    mawzer308 You just quoted our exact loads eh, except I use Amax. Although you are right and I agree, we both know my 7mm08 is cooler deep down.

    .243 would be great. Then he can down scale or up scale later depending on his taste. Although I'm a fan, .223 is not something you just pick up with a box of any old ammo and go hunting with. Takes...

    And this is where we need to be acutely aware of our biases (either way). Classic scenario plays out like this: Hunter shoots a stag with a ‘marginal cartridge’ and it requires a tracking job and...

    Funnily enough its big rutted up stags that have ALWAYS been said to be maybe step to far for the .224s. Maybe not so silly Afterall.

    If a big red stag with a heavy wet coat they can soak up pills like nothing else. Armour plating got nothing on mother nature at times.
