Making a start on a wee forge, if anyone has done much the same I'd be interested to see/hear opinions. Debating weather to make my own burner, by the time I buy reg fittings and valves etc it's...

Don't believe everything you read. There are so many variables, barrel length, bullet bearing area, barrel wear, batch lot of powder, temperature etc. Chasing 3300 isn't the best way of doing load...

Only when I've had the bullet physically contact bone housing CNS squidgies. E.g. a bullet nicking a skull and not penetrating, or hitting the spinal processes high above the spine.

Unfortunately I don't have a standardised experimental 170lb pig to also shoot with the .223 to see if the wound looks any different. Have you got one I can borrow? This however is the last pig I...

Consider joining Upper hut Deerstalkers, their range is open almost always. They've got a great setup too.

I could not find much on it admittedly with the 22CM, so you might be able to point me in the right direction. The only data I could find showed the examples you gave as pretty much identical energy...

A mate had a dog jump in just as he shot a bailed pig. Put a 44mag right through the rib cage. Everyone thought we were down one dog, but he walked out of the bush and after a rest fully recovered.

Horses for courses. It's not all about energy. Not the same as deer I know but for dangerous game like cape buff 5000ftlbs out of a 416 is not the same as from something smaller and faster. The...

you'll be learning so much from these kinds of hunts, stuff you don't even realise until things start clicking and you'll look back chuckling at the things you used to do. I would get a rifle and...

G'day. I'm 1.5 years into bowhunting and hunting itself and I've been getting a lot of goat meat lately on public (Live in New Plymouth). Decided a long time ago that I wanted some deer meat in...

Would a very lightweight fabric tape on the draught baffle keep it smooth and off the zipper enough to get the job done?

It just makes so much sense when you're at that moment a big animal that was 80M away has paused after running 200+ metres up a ridge or fence line etc and you know you don't have time to range or...

This has been a fantastic thread to read through It's very hard for most to understand that a 22cm pushing 88eldm has 3 times the energy of a 168smk from a 308 at 500 yards it just doesn't make...

And I can tell you who not to send it too unless of course you want to end up buying a new bolt elsewhere, AFTER they have finished dicking with your one and run away.
