    the simplest way is to get a much more powerful air rifle- there are any number that will kill effectively out to 30-40 meters the best a little more - I found a slug just behind shoulder into...

    Think you'd be disappointed in what you might get for it. If you're hell bent on selling it Id drop the scope and rings, and the bipod. Bare rifle and suppressor might be more sell-able. 270 with a...

    Keep it. Drop down to 110gnrs at about 3000fps and you'll have equivalent to a 708/243. Dropping too a 223 is really the only way too make a significant step in power and recoil. Recoil with 110's...

    This sounds like heresy with the comments about the venerable 223. The elephant in the roomis that whilst all the haters are posting about the ineffectiveness of the 223 there must of been heaps...

    Current 2209. My load workup was done with a fully calibrated GRT calculation, running at a calculated 62,000 psi, well within the limits of brass and rifle, even though over "book max" As I...

    I took the handle off a case trimmer and put a battery drill on it. Takes 2-3mm off in no time. The dimpled cases will come out perfect after firing them as long as you can chamber them.

    The farm hunting debate after my last post was entertaining. I decided to give this public land "proper" hunting a go myself. As I stepped onto the public land, all sensors went haywire. The DEER...
