Went down again to the local swimming beach tonight. Within 30mins we had 4 baits taken by big sharks. First 2 dropped the baits after big runs on my mates gear. Then i hooked up on the 13.6kilo...

When fireforming cases sized from 270 to 2506AI, I leave a little 'bump' at the bottom of the neck so that the case is held firmly between the base and the neck bump. The Fireform result is perfect...

Micky Duck, yeah I have high hopes for them. I think that at 4000 fps and 400,000 rpm even the TTSX will be pretty devastating. Will be heading down your neck of the woods this weekend to hopefully...

Well it turned out that the maximum weight per bag was 23kg and our 2 were 25kg each. So I had to pay $40 for the excess weight. Not too bad because there was 28kg of boned venison in them plus...

Another quick range visit. Don't have enough of the Z-Max to fireform all of the Lapua brass, so I loaded a few more with 50gr Nosler BT's using a max 22-250 load of Benchmark 8208 for a nice...

My plan is to use the Lapua brass for the 88gr ELD's but I haven't got much of that fireformed yet. Even so, I can use some of this Federal 243 brass to give myself an idea of what kind of charge...

Almost too easy, right? 186771 Next up, some 50gr Barnes TTSX. I have a handful of these and figured that at close to mach 4, they'll be as good on wallabies as they'll be on pigs and fallow....

I thought your earlier mention of the toenail painting was a mere joke. Now it seems a bit scary. I got some of the paint on my hand. And even after I thought I'd washed it off, I could still...
