    Mrfants liked post by Calci On thread : New dpt suppressor muzzle brake
    Hi, any idea what would happen if you added an extra baffle, and the muzzle break, in pace of normal end cap? Would you expect the sound increase to be less than the 3 decibels in the test tween...

    Mrfants liked post by John Duxbury On thread : Difference for velocity and range - 20.4" vs 22.4" barrel - 7mm 08
    The truth is some rifles in the same chambering, even in the same model, are faster than others, tighter bores, looser chambers, deeper rifling, less or more freebore, so it depends. The short barrel...

    It is possible to effectively kill deer at 600m with a 16 inch barreled 7mm08. It requires the right skill, knowledge and bullet. If you don't wish to push that limit, you'll be fine with any barrel...

    My 85 7mm08 is 22 1/2” more or less. With the supressor on its quite long for bush bashing but just fine for the Eastern Alps. It feels soo nice to carry when I put the suppressor in my pack … But...

    Mrfants liked post by Edunn On thread : Gear List - gone a bit deeper than usual
    Yeah I originally tried in excel but they didn't have the coding to get check boxes (only true and false) so unfortunately you can only run this as it is in Google Sheets, sorry. I couldn't work out...

    Mrfants liked post by Edunn On thread : Gear List - gone a bit deeper than usual
    Hey team, Mucked around with some formulas in Google Sheets (with ChatGPT assistance) and put a gear list together. I've found it pretty useful for working out how much everything weighs and where...

    A few years back I travelled with rifle and ammo, packed some of the ammo in original containers after I had reloaded it and some in MTM containers cos I was the manufacturer and those were the...

    Mrfants liked post by Moutere On thread : Ammo in checked luggage- domestic flights
    Their concern is around packaging, not security. So a lockable steel container is zero advantage. 5kg is the threshold for the ammunition to be carried under the limited quantity (personal...

    Mrfants liked post by No.3 On thread : Ammo in checked luggage- domestic flights
    It actually is clearly set out in IATA rules for DG on aircraft - it's just that it doesn't really happen often enough to get attention that it needs. The issue is the local staff not knowing that...

    Mrfants liked post by No.3 On thread : Ammo in checked luggage- domestic flights
    If I still have the right of this, the packaging needs to ensure that each round is separate to the one next to it - rounds can't be touching. This means that some commercial "original unopened"...

    Have not flown with Jetstar. But plenty with Air NZ. The intent of the regs is that the ammo is safely & securely packaged such that it can not be accidentally discharged. No need for locks. The MTM...

    MTM boxes are fine, and are specifically shown in IATA info. Don't need to be locked and neither does the checked bag that the ammo container is in. My experience with Jetstar has been via...

    I have a couple of GME TX6160. Not the cheapest but I’m pretty impressed with the performance. I can communicate with my son when he is several kilometres upstream in thick bush and he is below...
