I always zero at 100 as all my scopes are dial scopes, but if I had a capped turret I would be 1.5 inches high for a .223 and 3" high for a flat shooting caliber that's how we did it years ago. ...

I mostly use trailboss in late 1800s reloadable rimfire cartridges because those rifles are made of fairly good high carbon steel. Not in mid 1800s rimfire or centerfires because the actions are...

After you shoot your group, clamp your rifle in place (small tie down strop works well) with the cross hairs on the target. Dial your crosshairs off the centre of the target onto the centre of the...

A little trick I've found when putting a new scope on a rifle is that when doing a bore sight with the "eyeometer", I do it at as longer range as possible, i.e. a tree on a ridge 4-5 km away, you'll...

I'm feeling very smug: got a new scope and fitted it to the rifle, held the rifle between sandbags and bore sighted it as well as I could. Last night went and fired a few rounds through it at 100m to...

I'm thinking of going for a goat hunt with my daughters and am setting my 223 up to suit. Should I set the 223 up at 100m? It looks pretty flat to 200 so maybe 1.4" at 100m is good enough so...

I've just completed load development for my T3 16" 308. Less than 10 shots start to finish. Everything shot exceptional. 150gr BT @ 2715fps absolutely destroyed a young Fallow last night.

Yeah, sorry team, SKY dropped the ball there and haven't made it live. Been away in the hills so haven't had a chance to sort it out, but will make sure it goes live today. Cameraman Dave
