Hahaha, I did that to a pig years ago in the USA when I was 19. Boss was going to saw the leg off when I said "step aside and I'll show you how us kiwis do it". Ended up cutting way too high and...

Hope the picture aint to big. This is my own Win 70 that I got from my late Father in '99. One of my most accurate rifles.

I have one of these that I threaded for a suppressor. The exact same ultimate shadow version in 7mm-08. I have bought and sold various other rifles but tend to find myself coming back to it. Maybe...

I kind of agree with your assessment on calibers there csmiffy ... you're welcome to buy it ;) A 7x57 or 284 seems more in keeping with this action. Although a .358 win or .338 fed could be a...

Re-barrel, keep it in the .308 family. My choice .358 Win for something different and a very under estimated cartridge. Energy delivered at the business end compared to the .308 is quite something....

Greetings, If I recall the best load for anything in the .270 was 60 grains of WW2 milsurp 4831 with the 130 grain projectile. I believe that this load was carved on a stone tablet and handed down...

I wouldn't own a .270 with less than a 22 inch barrel. Any good bullet will work. I shot a lot of 130 grain Hornady SP with 60-62 grains 2213 depending on the rifle and brass. Nowadays I would try...

I always get a giggle out of these threads. I wouldn't stand in front of any of the aforementioned calibers out to 700 yds . Here is a red deer shot with a .223 at 416 yds . 254018

I've been mucking around for ages trying to find a consistent load for my rifle. Lots of 3 shot groups. The one thing I have done is keep all my targets which are printed on an A4 sheet of paper....

Makes me feel good about my load development technique. Fire 1 shot at each charge weight to get velocity idea. Usually pick the highest, safe, velocity. Load 3 and shoot. If under an inch call it...

A mate of mine in boatbuilding had some spare international everdure, which is a two-part clear low viscosity epoxy (yeah - that's a mouthful). He mixed some up and thinned it some more with epoxy...

22-250 is a nice velocity increase over 223, but is it really that different? Same with 22CM
