I only hope that a lot of people read what you have written about the SST. Just last weekend a mate shot a 15 month hind at 300 metres in the shoulder with an SST. He saw the hit, deer headed down at...

Spitfire, why do you want to shoot a super high BC bullet ? If your rifle is for hunting then in all reality the 270 is a 400 metre gun to still have 1400 - 1500 FP energy at that range. I have...

What I meant was, that getting up to max loads raises heart rate and blood pressure - same as driving a fast car, a womans inner thigh, letters from IRD etc etc and should be avoided if suffering...

The reason for the lower BC bullets is that the vast majority of 270's are 1 in 10 twist so anything more than 140gr is borderline to stableise

If that were true we would all be driving Morris Minors

I have seen two Bushys off Tikka package deals that have been crushed which is a shame because they are good scopes. If it happened to a Vortex no one would bat an eye

How does a standard AB fly if the LRAB doesn't group ?. I like the 110 AB at 3200 in a 2506, it groups very well. I only just started with 140AB in 270 and one stag shot so far opened quick, blew a...

Well worth the effort to recondition her. They are a great rifle with a great trigger. Back in the day they would shoot 1/2" at 200 with 139 Hornady. I wonder what she would look like with a 4x81...

The Youtube vids are under the title of 'Hunt Simple'. There is a series on 270 load development. I would add that he is still working with RL26 and after reading rambo-6mmrem's post, perhaps it is a...

Take him out for a good fun run with you on a pushbike to burn off some energy before you start training. Take him away from this normal route where I am guessing 10,000 other dogs are all marking

One feature that no one has mentioned is that the 98 actions being 'positive feed are much quieter when chambering a round than push feed actions. If the fingers of the left hand ( right handed...
