Precision shooting and shooting for groups etc is a whole other ball game than proficient and practical shooting. I'm going to sound like that "my dad is bigger than your dad" kid here but my dad...

Was a 223 I used, with scope set at 6X any more magnifcation the target shakes around mad women taking a dump. Key to it is, get on target and pull the trigger the longer you piss around the more you...

Offhand shooting is a bit of a headgame too. I was at a PRS shoot recently, one stage featured a playe of about 400mm at a range of under 200M. Most guys were getting 2 hits from 5 rounds at most. ...

The last time I was at a range and watched a bunch of guys shooting freehand at 100m targets, I would have to say not many can shoot a good group at that range. Nathan Foster talks about this issue...

Had a crack today, cold shot 2 inches off the middle of the plate, free hand at 100 metres, awesome. But I couldn't repeat it, couldn't even hit the bloody plate. Great reality check, always using...

I used a 150mm plate but it’s about the kill zone and taking home dinner. 300mm should be in the kill zone in a large red but I would prefer 200 as a limit. The challenge is about ethics and...

Magnetite, I thought somewhere, someone said 10". I went for 8" and used a 200 metre NZDA target. Had no dinner plates, well, none that I could use with out causing disharmony.

I agree with @MoaHunter on the effectiveness of the Accubonds. I have used the 130gr exclusively in my 270 for the last 12 odd years and they have always performed (Shots range from 15-350yds)....

Given what the specifications say you should get and the amount of money you spend to get the vehicle with a certain expectation, I would expect better then that personally. Shit in my mind any plain...

My thoughts of using a frangible type bullet wouldn’t end well. The bullet will blow up on contact, much like it is designed to do. Animal runs off maimed to die, your mate goes home pissed off &...

I shoot the 110g Barnes at deer. No issues yet but haven't stretched the legs because I haven't had the opportunity to shoot one past 100m yet. I won't be afraid to have a crack because they shoot...
