I have the 303 berdan primers, and a mate reloads berdan primers into 303 British cases. I would do them myself but I don't have any cases to load, so I have 1000 odd primers and no cases to load. ...

Most people wouldn't be aware of the Invercargill Rifle Club, just a few guys who like to shoot targets with mostly target style rifles (although we don't have many/any NRA style left). The club...

I was out with 2post a couple of roars back. Dropping down a ponga face we had stopped to look and wait as we had heard noise below us and to one side. Just then my phone rings. It's down in the...

Same here, I run a suppressor between two rifles and brought the wrong bush to the range once. Used it without the bush instead and had no issues so long as it is screwed on firm.

Hi Trigger, I take it you have a No 1 Mk III SMLE? But a New Old Stock points more to a LE No 4. Those venerable, ugly war horses are getting popular again, can't for my life think why that...

The .223 is my great equaliser. When I get too cocky and start missing stuff with my larger rifles I swap to my .223. With it I know I need to get closer and take more care. It brings me back to...

Cases are not "accurate". Not to the degree factory ammo can be better or worse. Rifles can be, but anything mass produces varies from the first rifle after new tooling to the last rifle after new...

I only have a 1:12" twist so stick to the 55gr projectiles. They are pretty cheap and effective on anything I've used them on so far. I could probably get the accuracy better, but don't see the point...

My cheap little 223 is reasonably accurate Will print the same 11-13mm group at 100m day after day with cheap hunting ammo. For me the most versatile is the humble 223. For a while I was getting...

The odd man out here. For me the most versatile cartridge, is the 250-3000 Sav. I can purchase 85gr pre-lubed cast bullets for $39./500 so it is close to the cost of rimfire ammo to use it on...
