    Moa Hunter liked post by 25 /08 IMP On thread : What Scope are People Using for Medium Range
    I've found that as I've got older and my eyes are not as good I find the extra mag easier for the longer shots. I've gone from a swovski 3-9 to z5 3-18 and vz5 3.5-15 and now to a Delta titanium...

    Far be it from a relative newbie like me to give you advice, but I'm with GWH and the others who have recommended higher magnification ranges. I remember reading a couple of articles recently...

    Moa Hunter liked post by gundoc On thread : BSA Bolt Jammed?
    The CF2 has a guide bar on the side of the bolt that is held in place by a clip around the bolt body. They can sometimes move forward under recoil and slide behind a locking lug. They have wee hole...

    Makros either way, enjoy both the 6.5 PRC and the Special Birthday! There is something special about shooting a rifle that ammunition and components are not in abundance. Good luck with the Hunt!...

    Moa Hunter liked post by Makros On thread : Reloading conundrum - time constraint.
    Hi all thanks for the useful input. I've come up with a plan and am comfortable I'll either find a load that'll be serviceable during what will effectively be just sighting in and getting familiar...

    Settle down Micky Duck, Uplandstalker and mimms2, Makros has informed us that he has a bit of a special birthday hunt coming up and he has a new rifle. These two items may be related hence my advice...

    I guess it's just as well the deer cannot read the Ballistics charts then. Sent from my SM-G991B using Tapatalk

    The reality is the PRC is not that much better than the 270WIN. Take the 270 and ensure that any error is the shooter instead of any dodgy reloading. Once free from lockdowns, take the time to...

    take the mighty .270 and take the time to use new rifle with load you know is ok.....or take it,risk wounding something when its 450 not 300 and you have a go anyway,and risk a bad start and falling...

    Moa Hunter liked post by Cigar On thread : Reloading conundrum - time constraint.
    I'd just load up a good number of a middle-of-the-range load and concentrate on getting the rifle sighted in. You may not have the most accurate or fastest load, but it won't be miles off and will be...

    Moa Hunter liked post by JohnDuxbury On thread : Reloading conundrum - time constraint.
    I would load 5 at one grain under max and five at max, and then use either one of those that work best. Do the load development later. One lot under max just in case your rifle wont handle the max...

    There’s totally a reason why my little 25gr of powder burning rifle is the only one getting used at the moment. Makes a kg of powder last a while….
