I agree its a personal thing. I have probably killed thousands of pregnant or fawn in tow hinds on waro and meat shooting. So can't be a hypocrite. However I havent shot a hind, nanny or doe for...

The 45/70 loves the hornady ftx leverevolution ammo but strangely the 30/30 and 357 don't at all. Was using the winchester and remington corlokd in the 7mm08 and they were ok but not the smallest of...

My personal stance (inherited to some extent from some of the more experienced hunters I've had the privilege of learning from), is that ethics are a personal thing for you to own. If you can live...

Maybe it’s all psychological. Just a “thing”. We are spoilt I guess. Free range beef, lamb & mutton, venison, domestic pork, goat, kai moana. You’re probably right fellas, maybe there’s nothing wrong...

Smell and taste. It’s a very specific kind of gaminess that isn’t pleasant on the palate. You can taste it and smell it as it goes up the back of your nose from the throat. None of us like it, and we...

Here’s a trailer load of pig dump bait. Believe me, when they’ve been on this kind of thing (they like to leave it a while to make sure it’s properly rotten), you won’t want to be preparing them for...

The 1:8 twist T3 in 22/250 would be my first option. Perhaps worthwhile getting in touch with Beretta NZ or anyone aware of one floating around in NZ? Agree with the upgrade options. I owned a...

Cheers for all the input guys. I will wait for the Lapua large primers to come back in stock I think.

I used to run a Tikka CTR on SRP in 6.5 Creedmoor Lapua brass ( not Peterson ) never had an issue with CCI450 primers but did get erratic ignition and hang fires on other primers. Still running...

Greetings 308mate, My impression is that some small rifle primers crater at lower pressures than others. Cratering is a step on the way to piercing. You could try magnum primers or other primer...

nor-west yourself - you've got all the flash Mauser books. I don't recall any rear bridge dovetails so the thoughts about a Swede style sight would be my pick. Cheers
