    Moa Hunter liked post by Cordite On thread : Lead contaminated meat
    Aquaintance of mine only uses solid copper projectiles in his 7mm08 for this reason. Uses it to take deer. Interesting rules of thumb from the article, - 6 inches radius contaminated under...

    I was a dyed in the wool, true blue skeptic, and read this article with a great deal of cynicism. However, by the end, I was a lot less sure of what I know... I would like to hear your thoughts...

    Regardless of ones opinion on 1080 drops, I think it is fair to say that DOC's communication of such matters is atrocious. There is no way that any of us should be finding things like this out on...

    Is Gilligans island the doc textbook then? There had been a decades long very successfultrapping operation in the Nth Urewera where 1080 was not used. It was embarressing to DoC who ultimately shut...

    The diameter contact land to land is critical with the GS custom. If you don't get that right they are hard to get to shoot well. The barrel specs vary marginally with different manufacturers and...

    Moa Hunter liked post by dirkvanvuuren On thread : 6mm Creedmoor goats and deer
    Mate. I wouldn't say it's safe to load to 75k psi. Yes srp brass handles the high pressure better, but 75k psi not something I would be comfortable with or recommend. Shooting with that pressure...
